CLAIM THAT HARAPPANSWERE DRAVIDIAN-SPEAKERSIS WRONG• According to the „Aryan Invasion‟thesis, the Invading Aryans droveaway the Dravidian-speakingHarappans to South India.• If there was any truth in it, one wouldfind settlements of Harappan refugeesin South India, but there is not even asingle Harappan or even Harapparelatedsetllement in any of the6Dravidian-speaking States.
Contd.• Further, it is seen that even when new peopleoccupy a land, the names of at least some placesand rivers given by earlier people do continue. Forexample, in USA names of rivers like Missouri andMississippi or of places like Chicago andMassachusetts given by earlier inhabitants docontinue even after the European occupation.• But there is no Dravidian river/place-name in theentire area once occupied by the Harappans, viz.from the Indus to upper reaches of the Yamuna.• All told, therefore, there is no evidencewhatsoever for holding that Harappans were aDravidian-speaking people.7
