520 _aAncient Dravidians by T.R. Sesha Iyengar is a scholarly work that explores the origins, culture, and historical development of the Dravidian peoples of South India. Drawing upon linguistic, archaeological, literary, and ethnographic evidence, the book reconstructs the early civilization of the Dravidians before and during their interactions with Indo-Aryan cultures. Iyengar examines key aspects of Dravidian life, including religion, language, governance, art, and social customs, with an aim to establish the Dravidians as one of the oldest and most influential cultural groups in the Indian subcontinent. He also argues for the significance of Dravidian contributions to broader Indian civilization, challenging the then-dominant narrative of Aryan supremacy.
