After the study of one thousand eight hundred inscriptions which up to
now have been deciphered by the present writer, it is easy to
realize that the wave of migration of the Mediterranean race which was
supposed to have been from West to East must now be finally
settled to have taken place in the opposite direction i.e., from East to
West - Mohenjo Daro, the most important archaeological site in
Indian History.

Dr. De' Jerra ... tries to fix an approximate date of the early Indian
paleolithic culture assigning to Java man and Pekin man5,00,000 to 400,000
B.C. He places Indian early paleolithic culture in the second interglacial
(300,000-200,000 B.C.) and Soloman in Circa 100,000 B.C.
INDIA AND THE PACIFIC WORLD |
In the super-strata of Indo-Aryan society the Dravidian
contributed his fine intuitive-faculties to the logical thinking of the
Aryan,so that the focus-pocus of primitive magic had developed into a scientific
investigation of metaphysical problems into which the intellectuals of
Aryavartha were keenly interested.
A SHORT HISTORY
OF INDIA,
E.B. HAVELL |
Dravidian was in Sind before 1100 B.C. and it was he who
passed on the Indus civilization to the Aryan.... That at the time when
Aryans were still barbarous nomads of Central Asia, the Semites of
Arabia; which need not astonish in a people who by the days of Heran and
Solomon were already in commercial contact with the people of the Mediterranean
and enriched their languages with the Dravidia names for spices.
G.R.HUNTER. |
The autochthonous Dravidians did not and do not differ
ethinically from the Aryans who are supposed by some to be newcomers in
India in the historic times... The Dravidians were not much inferior
to the Aryans in the remote past either in physical appearance or in mental
powers.

It seems fairly certain that some time prior to the Aryan
arrival the Dravidians held the Indus valley. For no other hypotheses it
is easy to account for the present position and pseech of the Brahui of
Baluchistan. Further evidence and speech of the Brahui of Baluchistan.
Further evidence to suggest that they were actually in
Mohenjo-Daro at the time of our texts is afforded by the discovery
of what appears to be a variety of the Indus script on pottery recov-
ered from caim burials at Hyderabad and Madras, in country that one
supposed was Dravidian speaking at the date of those burials.
G.R.HUNTER. |
When the Aryans entered India, India was already civilised
indeed. It now appears certain from the remains of Mohenjo-Daro in the
north - west that a great civilization existed here for a long time before
the Aryans came Even apart from this, however, it is clear that the Dravidians
had a rich civilization then in South India, and
perhaps in Northern India - In India, Aryans were influenced greatly
by the still older civilization of India - that if Dravidians and
per-
haps the remains of the civilization whose ruins we see at Mohenjo-Daro.

Wherever money is to be made, wherever a more apathetic
or a more aristocratic people is willing to be pushed aside, thither swarm
the Tamils, the Greeks or Scots of East; the least superstitious and the
most enterprising and persevering race of Hindus.

Deccan itself, one of the most ancient geological formation in

TAMILS PRE-OCCUPIED
IN CEYLON
|
It stands to reason that a country which is only thirty miles from
India and which would have been seen by the Indian fisherman every
morning when they sailed out to catch their fish, would have been occupied
as soon as the continent was peopled by men who understood how to sail.
I suggest that of Ceylon (Jaffna) was a flourishing settlement, centuries
before Vijaya was born.
