| | The Dravidian Problem - Dr.D.M.Rasanagaiam |
 | | The Germans gave a political twist to the idea of an Aryan race and used it as a powerful weapon in their policy of exterminating the Jews. | | | Dikshitar contended that the Dravidians are not aliens and that the term Dravida, like Arya, had no ethnic significance. | | | These several findings support the theory that before the advent of the Indo-Aryan speakers, the Dravidians were in occupation of a considerable large area of the country including portions of North and North-West India. |

| | The "Aryan Brahmin Theory" was an ill-founded hypothesis linking the Dravidian Brahmins with foreign "Aryan" or Indo-European ancestors and was largely encouraged during the Victorian Age as part of the British policy of "Divide-and-Rule". | | | "As regards the influence of foreign nations upon the history of the ancient Dravidians, it is said that the Dravidians, who visited Babylon during their commercial intercourse, perhaps brought with them a knowledge of coinage, of the solar-signs and week-days, [ftn. | | | He states that Dr. Chatterji agreed with this view: "Dr. Chatterji says, `The Dravidians look like being a Mediterranean people coming out of Crete and passing through Asia Minor and Mesopotamia, where they were in close touch with the Sumerians and the Elamites; and possibly these latter were related to them and the Cretans. |

| | "Treating caste as a form of race", he writes, "is politically mischievous; what is worse, it is scientifically nonsensical." Even though he concedes that "the practice of untouchability is reprehensible and must be condemned", he feels obliged, nonetheless, to insist that caste is not a form of racial discrimination". | | | What is neither understandable nor excusable is the attempt by the United Nations to revive and expand the idea of race, ostensibly to combat the many forms of social and political discrimination prevalent in the world. | | | Beteille has taken an extreme position, but it would still be useful to deal with the questions raised by his arguments: what is racism, what is race, and what is the relation race and caste discriminations. |
