Even if there was one, they would have gotten absorbed into the indigenous population that already comprised of light skinned people.
Nobody got pushed anywhere! From what I've read, Indian literature contain NO records exist of invasions and migration...
No such thing happening. Tamil is not ''fading'' away.
It never happened. The ''aryan invasion'' theory claims that groups of warlike invaders not only overpowered the more advanced ''natives''...and drove all of them to the south....but that they also settled down and produced Indian culture. If they were so brilliant why didn't they create this culture in their own lands?

OP ,I don't trust you.I don't believe a advanced civilization(and good at science) could destroyed by a group of relatively backward people .

BOTH light skinned and dark skinned folks existed there as a result of prehistoric migrations. Skin color gets lighter as one moves away from the equator. ..
@luciddream....
So i guess the dark people from the south magically appeared on a land filled with light skinned people? lol
Thats a weak argument. At least the darker people would have retained some records of being invaded and booted out of their homeland in the north. There is no evidence.
Why would it contain any information? the country is under north Indian rule for over 2000s yr, the authors were all north Indians.
The lankan tamils suffered genocide by Sinhalese lankans...who themselves resemble dravidians racially. Has nothihg to do with the subject at hand. As for light skinned actors...its a known fact that south indians have a ''thing'' for lighter skin. Which is why ''fairness creams'' have a huge market in south india. Besides, bollywood dominates the indian film industry so thats why south indian movies mimic them in terms of cast. Besides, there are south indians who are as fair (or fairer) than north indians. Light skinned actresses like Aishwarya Rai and Shilpa Shetty are both Tulu speaking south indians who have made it big in the north. Parallely, a dark skinned north indian actor (dont remember his name...he usually plays the role of villains) is quite popular in south indian cinema.
* Lets see, in 2009 there a mass genocide of Tamils by Sri Lankan military.("collateral damage") Look up Sri Lanka's killing fields.
*Indian's south Indian movie industry of recent era is full of "light skinned" actors that are of North Indian descent.
Looking at a movie from 1970's has much different casts than movie from 2014.
*The literature is confined into Tamil Nadu alone.
Who Brought The Mayans To Mexico?
or
Were the ancient Turks, Akkads (Sumerians) and Dravidians (Tamils) the parents of Mexico and Meso-America?
THE SUMERIANS WERE TURKS.
Many people find it difficult to accept that even the Akkad or Sumerians were Turkish. The Akkads (Sumerians) were Phoenicians. known also as Kads, Khatti, etc., Originally, they were a Turkish (Kur, Tur, Tul, Tol, etc.) people from what our Bible calls Eden, the Akkadian word for the Steppes (Central Asia). Before the Great Flood, the Steppes or Eden was regarded as an earthly paradise. However, when the Great Flood inundated what are now the Altai, Tannu (Tiva, Teva, or Tuva), and Khakassia Turkish republics, the survivors had to build their civilization all over again. Many fled to what is now India, becoming Indians themselves, joining the eastern part of the Northern and southern hemisphere as a single nation.
The light skinned aryans were not ''settlers'' as a result of an invasion. They were already settled in that region as a result of migration during pre-historic times....and so were part of the racial make up of that place now known as North India. Any ''light skinned'' invader would have fought his own kind...they were different only by culture...not race.
@luciddream...
No, the Aryan Invasion theory is about "European White" coming to India and spreading the knowledge, which was proposed by early euro-centric historians.
Which is a myth.
The Aryan on the other hand are not native and are settlers came from the indus valley.

Because all advanced people are belligerent and war like? lol Some share the land than fight over it.
Tho i can understand where you get your Idea from, our current era''s mindset is exactly how you described.
And the Aryan are no backwards people.edit on 4/10/2014 by luciddream because: (no reason given)

96. Chariots and horses, elephants, parasols, money, grain, cattle, women, all sorts of (marketable) goods and valueless metals belong to him who takes them (singly) conquering (the possessor).

The Aryans weren't from Europe, they came from Iran. And while they were Caucasiods, they were not Nordics. They were more closely related to the Persians. The Nordic Aryan is a Nazi myth.
The Aryans did invade India, and bring the Caste system. But they were not illiterate savagaes. They had the Vedas.

I would add that Europeans did not invent slavery.
As a people, they did not traditionally practice in slavery, which is mainly a middle east obsession.
