Hint: It wasn't the Dravidians.
It was actually the Persians.
There are all numerous reasons that the Aryan race has undergone its evolution from the primitive man to the white man in the Iranian Plateau. These reasons can be categorized as historical, geographical, mythological, anthropological and linguistically.
What'cha got to support this? Not saying I disagree; I'm just wondering.
1. PRAISE of the Asura, high imperial Ruler, the Manly One in whom the folk shall triumph-
I laud his deeds who is as strong as Indra, and lauding celebrate the Fort-destroyer.
2 Sage, Sing, Food, Light,they bring him from the mountain, the blessed Sovran of the earth and heaven.
I decorate with songs the mighty actions which Agni, Fort-destroyer, did aforetime.
3 The foolish, faithless, rudely-speaking niggards, without belief or sacrifice or worship,
Far far sway hath Agni chased those Dasytis, and, in the cast, hath turned the godless westward.
Rig Veda, Book 7, Hymn 6:
It says that the Dasytis (the enemies of the Aryans) went westward.
What country lies to the west of the Indian subcontinent?
A word of caution. Do not let superficial similarities lead to you jump to big conclusions. Coincidences do happen.
Frubals. That's exactly how I understand it, too.The Sanskrit word "Aryan" means noble or high charactered, the word Dasyus is the opposite. The Vedas often depict these as being at war both on earth and in the heavens. Similar to the war between Devas and Asuras in later Vedic literature. This is basically the classical symbolism of light vs dark, good vs bad, positive vs negative. In the Vedas they depict this symbolism is depicted in many ways: as a cosmological struggle between good and bad forces; as a human struggle between noble and ignoble people and finally as the psychological struggle between positive thoughts and negative thoughts.
