Dravidian People

The Dravidian people are an ancient ethnic group primarily found in southern India and parts of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. They share a common linguistic heritage, speaking Dravidian languages like Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. Historically, they have established rich cultures with distinctive art, traditions, and social systems. The Dravidian identity is linked to their unique languages and historical development, which differ from the Indo-Aryan groups dominating northern India. They have made significant contributions to literature, architecture, and religion, and continue to play a vital role in the cultural fabric of South Asia.
