"This was assumed by Risley to be 'the original type of the population of India, now modified to a varying extent by the admixture of Aryan, Seythian and Mongoloid elements."
"At the same time there can be little doubt that Dravidian languages were actually flourishing in the western regions of Northern India at the period when languages of the Indo European type were introduced by the Aryan invasions from the north-west. Dravidian characteristics have been traced alike in Vedic and Classical Sanscrit, in the Prakrits or early popular dialects, and in the modern Vernaculars derived from them.”
"There is good ground, then, for supposing that before the coming of the Indo-Aryans, speakers of the Dravidian languages predominated both in Northern and in Southern India.” Prof.E.J. Rapson, in Ancient India of the Cambridge History of India. pp.41-44.
