However, Telugu tom-badi (from *to-pat) 90 implies that *to means 9. The South Dravidian languages have cognates that support the first, 1/10th less, meaning. While Pali and Prakrits were not used by Brahmins, both Pali and Prakrits were IndoAryan languages and ultimately derived from Vedic Sanskrit, which seems to have been brought by MLBA-rich people from Central Asia.

Rao's decipherment of the Indus script also proved that, the South Arabic and the Old Aramaic alphabets, as well as the Indian Brahmi, all are derived from the Indus script. [23]Genetically, the Ancient Indus Valley people were composed of an Iranian Farmer- Gatherers and Indian Hunter-Gatherers or "First India was chiefly aboriginal prior to the Aryanisation of India. Was the mingling with the 'war-like Aryans (Van Loon)' voluntary or forced? Many genetecists and other scientists including Inians deny the theory of Aryan invasion in India.The author opinion is based on 19 century tradition of British imperial science.Read Out of eaden by Oppenheimer. The as-yet-unexplained alternation between long and short vowels in personal pronouns could be a consequence of a laryngeal *H in the reconstructed forms, including *yaH-n, *yaH-m, *taH-n, *taH-m, and so on. Apparently all the forms were in use dialectally in Proto-Dravidian. The width, in some parts of the course of the river was so wide, that the name Sarasvati-Sindhaive Sagar has been in use in the scriptures. All these societies and universities spent years in studying various languages of the world to determine the Mother Language as well as the place of its origin. Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar was an intellectual warrior.

DNA Analysis by Experts has proved that its the same for North South East West Indians. They were not builders. They built no towns, their agriculture was primitive, the art of writing was unknown to them'. [121], Literary evidence of traditional form of theatre, dance and music dates back to the 3rd century BCE.

Theres some overlap of language with culture, but on the whole, there are huge commonalities of [46], Several studies have shown that the Indian subcontinent harbours two major ancestral components,[24][47][48] namely the Ancestral North Indians (ANI) which is broadly related to West Eurasians and the Ancestral South Indians (ASI) which is clearly distinct from ANI. [23] According to Horen Tudu, "many academic researchers have attempted to connect the Dravidians with the remnants of the great Indus Valley civilisation, located in Northwestern India but [i]t is mere speculation that the Dravidians are the ensuing postIndus Valley settlement of refugees into South and Central India. During this time Portuguese Jesuit priests also arrived and converted a small number of people in modern Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to Catholicism, most notably the Paravars. He then went on to separate them age-wise. They are also found in large numbers in Middle East countries, the Americas and Australia. If the system in South-Central and Central Dravidian is understood to reflect the retention of the parent language, the shift of meaning in the plural in the other languages can be explained as a natural one from men to men and women (mixed groups) to women (exclusively), thus generalizing the meaning to any human group. These people were Home-less, made transit stops before entering India. Thus, there has to be some genetic relationships, however, the statement from the researchers was that, 'they could not discern the geographic origin of that population from their data' (India West). Weech (History of the World) opines that 'the **** type ssems early to have passed from Africa to South India', where as Bouquet (Comparative Religion) has not ruled out 'sea-borne invasion'. "[10] They may have been indigenous to the Indian subcontinent,[11][12][13] but origins in, or influence from, western Asia have also been proposed.

The historians correctly worked out the qualities of character of their fore-fathers had. Text-book Revision, where the historians agreed to call, 'migration' in place of 'invasion' of/by the Aryans, amply justified the above saying. The linguists did not achieve success until Napoleon Bonaparte came along and conquered Egypt in 1779, brought home, a Rosetta Stone, that enabled the linguists to decipher the Egyptian script. Web(9) This is an anthropological study of the development of the mastoid process in the four ethnic groups of Pakistani races: Turko-Iranian, Indo-Aryan, Scytho- Dravidian, and Aryo- Dravidian. (2019), early Dravidians formed as a mixture of Ancient Ancestral South Indians ("AASI" indigenous South Asian hunter-gatherers distan of Education, to accept a major change, such as calling 'Aryan invasion' a migration into India. Aryavrita, Aryadesh, Aryalok, Aryasamaj and Aryarit. [15][41] In the 1990s, Renfrew and Cavalli-Sforza have also argued that Proto-Dravidian was brought to India by farmers from the Iranian part of the Fertile Crescent,[14][42][43][note 1] but more recently Heggerty and Renfrew noted that "McAlpin's analysis of the language data, and thus his claims, remain far from orthodoxy", adding that Fuller finds no relation of Dravidian language with other languages, and thus assumes it to be native to India. The sculpture dating from the Chola period has become notable as a symbol of Hinduism. The word Aryans was brutally used by Hitler during world war second to attain exclusion of Jews and other ethnicities from a specific group of Germans. Over many centuries a fusion of.

Examples include Telugu reu pustaklu two books and naluguru manuulu four people (-guru is from *-war). We don't know any better! "Out of Eden' by Stephen Oppenheimer is in respect of spread of humanity many many millions of years ago, when even the earth's plates may be in different positions. Mudumby Narasimhachary (Ed) (1976). [8] South Dravidian I (including pre-Tamil) and South Dravidian II (including pre-Telugu) split around the eleventh century BCE, with the other major branches splitting off at around the same time. Prof. M Witzel has shown great courage in agreeing this change. The third century BCE onwards saw the development of many great empires in South India like Pandya, Chola, Pallava, Satavahana, Chalukya, Kakatiya and Rashtrakuta. [24][note 2][25] Later, a component termed "AASI", found to be the predominant element in ASI, was distinguished in subsequent studies. South-Central Dravidian (except Telugu) and Brahui use the first form, *-(n)k(k)a; Central Dravidian and Tulu use the second and third forms; Telugu uses the second alone; and South Dravidian uses the third alone.
