We can't say, the North Indians are from Aryans and the South Indians are from Dravidians.That said the original Dravidian deities (Kali, Shiva) are more bloodthirsty and it's more likely that several mother goddesses have been swallowed up by the Aryan version of the religion. In the Rig Veda, Indra, Varuna etc were more worshipped. They have their counterparts in Greek Mythology as Zeus and Poseidon. It is possible that a section of central Asian people migrated to India while some others migrated elsewhere. To conclude, nobody is clear. We can only speculate.
We can't conclude that Sanskrit was the language of Aryans. Because people outside the Indian subcontinent (the other branch of Aryans) can't pronounce the different sounds of "da", "ta", "ra" etc.
When talking about Aryans I was talking about their migration only not the "debunked"Aryan invasion theory.
But Sanskrit and Aryans do go together. So obviously Dravidians will oppose Sanskrit imposition too.
What I don't understand why Hindi belt people don't have three languages in school like in South Indian schools. They don't learn English but atleast they can learn one more Indian Language
