Which One is a Real Dravidian

[Anayomous]

The population of India is divided into two major regional ethinic and lingusitic groups:the light-skinned northern Indo-Ayrans and the dark-skinned southern Dravidians.

The former group resembles Mediterranean whites in physical appearnace, and the latter group looks mixed Austrailoid/Mediterranean.

Many Bollywood actors/actresses claim to be of southern Indian Dravidian/Tamil origin, but many of them are light-skinned. I always thought that Dravidians were a dark-skinned people whose origin is somewhat between Austrailoid and Mediterranean.

It has even been rumored that they have African origins. So, according to links below, which of the following phonotypes is representative of Dravidians?

The last 3 are overwhelming Dravidian, the 1st two Caucasoid/Med.

India is a very big country with many different cultures races and types of people.

You forgot the types with Mongoloid admixture.

"Dravidian", as you have pointed out, is actually a linguistic classification, and should not be used to describe a race or phenotype. Dravidians come in types from Negrito to essentially "white", and everything in between. The history of South Asia is rather more complicated than the old Aryan/Dravidian schtick. For interesting and scholarly articles on early history of South Asia, see the link below;

lots of linguistic, and therfore racial(?), theory.
