[edit] RE: Dravidian flags of yore

I noticed that there are suggestions for a Dravidian flag and map. On a historical note, before Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh came into formation during and after British rule were Dravidian as well as Indo-Aryan and Mon-Khmer kingdoms throughout South Asia. As for the Dravidian kingdoms, the following had the specific symbols for their flags.

  • Pandyas - Fish
  • Cholas - Tiger
  • Cheras - Bow
  • Pallavas - Boar

[edit] Indus script found in Tamil Nadu

You all should check out this article in The Hindu [[1]], stating that they found a artifact with the indus script, giving more evidence for Indus Valley Civilization being Dravidian and a tamil connection.--Kathanar 18:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Racial Wikiproject

This Wikiproject is racially motivated. The very word Dravidian (like Aryan) smacks of racial bigotry. 59.92.46.189 19:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Extending your logic: The word 'African' is racially motivated. Am I right?Praveen 21:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Script in Tamil

For those who know how to write in Tamil language, please add tamil script to Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar.--æn↓þæµß¶-ŧ-¢(I prefer replying to my talk page.) 16:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is the scope of this project?

The scope of the project as on the project page read,

“ WikiProject Dravidian civilizations is a collaboration to create, improve, and expand articles related to Dravidian people, their history, languages, and culture....

All of these articles should be included in the following categories:

* The project will cover all articles on different Dravidian civilizations from India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, included in the following categories or others:
 * Category:Indus Valley Civilization.
 * Category:Vedic Civilization "

 ”

Now can somebody explain to me what the following terms mean..

  • Dravidian people
  • Dravidian civilisation

If you cannot satisfactorily explain this with relevant and notable sources, I will be nominating this for deletion. Thanks. Sarvagnya 01:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
