The Dravidians are a group of people primarily found in southern India and parts of Sri Lanka. They are known for their distinct languages, which belong to the Dravidian language family, including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. The Dravidian culture has a rich history, with contributions to art, architecture, and literature, particularly evident in ancient temples and classical texts. Historically, the Dravidians are believed to have been the original inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent before the arrival of the Indo-Aryans. Their societies have evolved over thousands of years, and today, Dravidian communities play a significant role in the cultural and political landscape of southern India.
