There is a school of thought that says that. Particularly supported by the fact that Ravan is admired in some places in the South, as well as in Sri Lanka. And that some of the rakshasha/asura kingdoms in ancient India simply belonged to native peoples who didn't get along w/ the Aryans, and therefore were categorized separately. Same goes for groups like Vanaras and so on.

aryan invasion theory is total crap invented by British with no archeological evidence whatsoever
latest research by CCMB, banaras hindu university and university of tartu estonia and published in american journal of human genetics indicated that Indian population is a admixture of two migratory groups ancestral South Indians and Ancestral North Indians both of them migrated to India in and around 50000 years and 40000 years ago which is much before puranic and vedic period.

So the British interpretation of Aryan Invasion and Dravidian south ward migration is myth.

so on the whole there are no dravidians as a race as such. Dravida in sanskrit means south
and arya means respected person, similar version in the south is Ayya

so on the whole dravidians are not rakshas

hope this clarifies your doubt

Yes Ravan is admired in the south only after parties like DMK and JUSTICE party instigated that feeling among the people. you'll be surprised to know that Ravan was not Native lanka he migrated from the north and he was a brahmin.

It is true that south had a different language origins owing to its migratory origins along the south coast of indian ocean from africa where as northern migration from africa was identical route taken by european and central asian populations. The route split only in turkey and in and around caspian sea,

i request all the Indians to please read thoroughly on this subject and get to know the latest research in this topic. as AIT was fabricated by british to prove their superiority and not the truth.

uh oh! how did we get to Aryans and Dravidians? 😕 😆

Reshama, let me advice you to do your own research on this because this is a very contentious issue.

First of all, "Dravidian" and "Aryans" as we know the terms today started out as linguistic terms. It's true that in the early literature, "Arya" means nobleman (dasu, servant) etc. But it was not an ethinic/racial term. The term "aryan" began to be used to designate a linguistic family , the Indo-Aryan languages (Latin, Greeek, Sanskrit and the mod languages)...

Unfortunately, in the 19th c the term began to be racialized - this had awful consequences in the 20th c when Hitler adopted it as we all know.

Today, because of the unfortunate racialization, we call these langs Indo-European languages.

"Dravidian" is also a linguistic term used to distinguish the southern languages which are DISTINCT from the Indo-European languages. It has also now mistakenly become an ethinic/racial term.

As for Aryan invasion...there are at least 3 theories that are still in contention.

Aryan migration, Aryan invasion, Indian origin theories. Mostly it's between the first and the last.

Unfortunately no theory has been proved to be right in any conclusive way. Based on the evidence, you have to make up your won mind. I am happy to share sources if you like.
Be careful because this is an extremely political and volatile debate, so be wary of sources!

😃

Unlike other race characteristics South and North Indian color pigmentation was a result of
natural selection ( darwin's theory) rather than a racial feature. However since the natural selection is quite recent you still see many exceptions for this rule

many south Indians are white( although minority)
many north Indians are black( although minority)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics_and_archaeogenetics_of_South_Asia

please pay attention to the sources this is not any wikipedia article

most of them are reputed journals you can read them if you have time and energy. i formed by opinion after reading them you can also through references of these journals arrive at many other articles in this area.

here is also a latest article from Harvard on this subject
