Lord McCauley in his speech of Feb 2,1835, British Parliament
"I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber,that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation".

This is how aryanisation started in India.Such theories without any base were spread by British earlier.Except the stooges of the british,justice party ,nobody believed it.Now justice party and its avathars have become popular as dmk and dk and thats why such theories are still alive today.
Tamil grammar was composed by agathaiyar,a rishi mentioned in vedas.Tamils proudly say that agathiya muni gave them grammar through his book agathyam.And agathya muni lived even before the period of Ramayana.And Ramayana's period is dated 5000 years before christ.
You mention any ancient tamil book,there vedas and hindu gods are glorified.Tamil's second or first book tholkappiyam was written by a bhramin,tholkappiyar.Even oldest tamil books hail the virtues of hindu gods.Avvayar,who lived in sangam age is a devotee of kanda and ganesh.
Many sangam age kings had names like "pal yaga salai mudhu kudumi peruvaluthi".Lord shiva himself built the temple of meenakshi in madurai and ruled madurai as "ukra pandia peruvaluthi".
Sangam age madurai people prided themselves as "People of Tanjore wake up hearing noise of kolzi(cholas were also called as kozhi vendar),but people of madurai wake up daily hearing veda chanting and breathing holy smoke from yagnas"
So when did this aryan invasion take place?When evidence came that shiva and vishnu worship in tamilnadu are as ancient as hills, dravidian scholars(???)created a new theory.So according to them aryans adapted indian gods in their vedas.So instead of aryanization of dravidians,now they say the reverse.Vishnu,shiva,parvathi,ganesh and skanda are glorified in vedas.So even before vedic period dravidisation of aryans happened.THis happened while aryans invaded and conquered dravidians. Great logic this is.
In mahabharatha and ramayana pandya kings are glorified.In mother seetha's swayamvara a pandya king participated.IN mahabharatha war a pandya king fought and died for pandavas.So all evidence suggests that aryan invasion happened only in the minds of mccauley and justice party's avathars.
As more and more evidence comes out aryan invasion goes back and back.Earlier it was during 3rd century bc.Then it went to vedic period.Then it went back to pre-vedic period.Now people have gone to stone age and say aryans invaded when dravidians were in stone age.Next guess would be big bang.
This is what happened actually.
Whole world earlier followed one religion(vedic),had one language (proto-indo-european or sandas)had one holy symbol(swasthika) and one culture(vedic)
In India people in north were called aryans and people in south were dravidians.Even bhramins in south india were dravidians(rahul dravid,a bhramin stands as the living proof)
Irish(rootword erie i.e aryans),iran(aryan) all are offshoot of this one single culture.That culture exists today only In india in its uncorrupted version.
This is the truth.I will give further proof in my next mails.
Dear Priya Interesting.....Can I be the devil's advocate and ask what is the archeological evidence of the time frame of agathiyam,tholkappiyam,mahabharat and ramayan.....based on archeological evidence? radiocarbon dating?
