Magan,Meluhha and Sindh: Modern Historical,lengual and anthropological evidences
Keywords:
Dravidian, Sumerian, Magas, MalokasAbstract
The previous historians placed the Dravidian as Indian people, but a some researchers later put this statement fake, ambiguous and far from the truth. The post- historians like Chandra Shaker, invented a new dimension of the history of Dravidians. The Dravidians have been the original inhabitants of Africa and they migrated from that land to India.
The Brahuis are said to be Dravidian, but some historians and linguists oppose this conception and opine that there is not a single evidence of being the Brahuis as Dravidians. A few historians placed the Brahui as proto-Dravidian language and put its origin in Sumerian region. This paper shows a detailed history of the Dravidians, Magas, Malokas and the origin of the Brahuis.
