                                                                              MASS to give it a unique   
                                                                              'Cosmopolitan Society ' look.

          As for as the mystery of DRAVIDIANS is concerned ---it is a brainchild of Christian missionaries, led by one ROBERT CALDWEL who had done so in 1856 AD. Robert Caldwell, a renowned linguist, in his book “Grammar of the Dravidians or the People of South India, published in 1856, recognized 73 Dravidian languages spoken from South India to Baluchistan(PAKISTAN),Western Iran, Afghanistan and Urals. It is now believed they were the people who established Pre –Aryan or the HARAPPAN civilization .I call it the civilization of NAGA people who were the worshippers of Lord Shiva. The VEDIC knowledge belongs to them which had been usurped by the ARYANS because by that time, say around 1900 BC to 2800 BC NATURAL UPHEAVALS had devastated the NAGA CIVILISATION.

Really good work! Appreciate your effort and time. Atlantis and Lemuria (Kumari Kandam) are the lost civilizations. They are the cradle of human civilization.
