This work was written to prove, mainly on philological grounds, the antiquity of the Dravidian race in India. The work aims to point out a connection existing between the several tribes that apparently are widely different from each other he has also tried to indentity the so called Pariahs of Southern India with old Dravidian mountaineers and to establish their relation to the Bhars, Brahuis, Mhars, Mahars, Paharias, Paravari, Paradas and others, these formed the first layer of the ancient Dravidian stratum. Furthermore he has tried to demonstrate how much of what is considered Aryan in name and origin was probably of Dravidian origin. This book is a reprint of the 1888 edition. ISBN - 9788120603486
