Answer 1

Aryans and Dravidians - A controversial issue

The most basic division of the Indian society is of Aryans and Dravidians. According to this division, nearly 72% of Indians are Aryans and 28% are Dravidians. The north Indians are the descendants of Aryans and the south Indians are Dravidians. The languages spoken in five states of south India are considered Dravidian languages and most of the languages spoken in the north are considered Aryan languages. The general script of the Aryan languages is different from the general script of Dravidian languages. The Indians also distinguish themselves by the general north Indian accent and general south Indian accent.

According to general Indian legend, the Aryans arrived in north India somewhere from Iran and southern Russia at around 1500 BC. Before the Aryans, the Dravidian people resided in India. The Aryans disregarded the local cultures. They began conquering and taking control over regions in north India and at the same time pushed the local people southwards or towards the jungles and mountains in north India. According to this historical fact the general division of Indian society is made. North Indians are Aryans and south Indians are Dravidians. But this division isn’t proper because of many reasons.

Many Indians immigrated from one part of India to other parts of India and not all local people of north India were pushed southwards by the Aryans. Some stayed and served the Aryans and others moved to live in the forests and the jungles of north India. Before the arrival of the Aryans there were also other communities in India like Sino-Mongoloids and Austroloids. There were also other foreign immigrations and invaders who arrived in India, from time to time.

There are many that completely doubt that there was ever any Aryan invasion in India. This skepticism is based on the dating of the Aryan invasion of India and the fact that Hinduism and the caste system are believed to have been established as the result of the meetings between the intruding Aryans and original residents of India, the Dravidians.

The caste system is believed to have been established by the Aryans. The fair skinned Aryans who occupied parts of India established the caste system, which allowed only them to be the priests (Brahman), aristocracy (Kshatria) and the businessmen (Vaisia) of the society. Below them in hierarchy were the Sudras who consisted of two communities. One community was of the locals who were subdued by the Aryans and the other were the descendants of Aryans with locals. In Hindu religious stories there are many wars between the good Aryans and the dark skinned demons and devils. The different Gods also have dark skinned slaves. There are stories of demon women trying to seduce good Aryan men in deceptive ways. There were also marriages between Aryan heroes and demon women. Many believe that these incidences really occurred in which, the gods and the positive heroes were people of Aryan origin. And the demons, the devils and the dark skinned slaves were in fact the original residence of India whom the Aryans coined as monsters, devil, demons and slaves. Normally the date given to Aryan invasion is around 1500 BC. But according to Hinduism experts some of the events in Hinduism occurred much earlier. Some of the events like the great war in the Mahabharta epic is believed to have occurred (based on astronomical research) 7000 years ago.

According to this Hindu experts the word Aryan is a misinterpretation of the original Sanskrit word, Arya. Arya means pure or good in Sanskrit. In the holy Vedas the good people were called Arya. Some of the European scholars of Indian culture in the 19th century were Germans. These German scholars who found that Swastika was also a holy symbol among the Hindus distorted, the word Arya to Aryan.

Answer 2

Dravidian Culture

Answer 3

Dravidians

Answer 4

The Dravidians were the 'ancient' Indians basically. Their two biggest cities, Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, were in the north-western part of India, in the Indus river valley. We've found evidence of their neolithic societies from around 6000 bce. They were not very warlike, and did not build any lasting monuments that one can really see today, except the two cities above. The Aryans came into northern India around 1500 bce, I hope I'm getting that date right, as part of a gradual migration (following the herds they tended) from the middle of Asia, they originate around modern day Uzbekistan/Aral Sea area. The word 'Aryan' means something like 'noble ones' in their language, sanskrit. Their migration into India was not an invasion, but as the cultures collided there were definite problems. Some people think the Aryans conquered Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, but its more likely that the Dravidians had abandoned the cities long before due to the unpredictable floods and droughts of the Indus river. The blending of these two cultures eventually created Hinduism (karma and reincarnation are Dravidian concepts), and the modern Indian language, Hindi. Most modern day Indians are descendants of these two mixed cultures. In the south of India there are still people who speak languages very closely related to Dravidian, unfortunately we have not deciphered the ancient Dravidian script yet. Hope this helped.

we can say that Dravidian was resident of India they had a genetic connection with Africa and Aryans have genetic connection with Europe. The Brown Color Indian have Genetic connection with Aryan & Dravidian. The new culture has been developed. You can see the difference between Dravidian & Aryan by visiting South of India and North of India. the Aryan culture which come outside from outside and Dravidian culture mixed up with each other and create a new culture and new genes in India. The main difference between Aryan & Dravidian is Language. We can not say that Sanskrit is mother of all Indian language But it is mother of Hindi because its script match with Hindi,Gujarati& Marathi only. The Sanskrit language developed with the mixture of Aryan and Dravidian language. The script of Dravidian Language developed in similar timing with Sanskrit . The Vedas and other books was written in Sanskrit because it was most acceptable language in Indian Parts and only 30-40% of lower parts India was aware about in India. The Dravidian comes first in India after long time Aryans come here because they have lost the battle against the modern Aryans,For extend there Kingdom, In search of new Land & for trading purpose and settled here they married with Dravidian and create new culture the Dravidian were Spread across and every part of India. In North part of India the Aryan and Dravidian were mixed up with each other easily but due to dense Forest & other reason Aryan did not moved to South of India or very few Aryans was succeed to move south part and mixed Up With Dravidian but in the south of India Culture was not changed. You can see the Lifestyle and temples in South of india
