My question is mainly who is Dr George Hart ? Does he have any relation with Dravidianist politics ? Who in the current academia are dravidianist supporters ?

The url given under the blog shows that Dr. George Hart is a Professor of Tamil in Berkeley. The blogger seems to think that Tamil was made a Classical Language only after the say-so of Dr. Hart ! <!--emo&

Being a Tamilian myself I donot think heavens will fall if Kannada is also given the status of a classical language.
I fail to see anything <i>Dravidian</i> in all this. <!--emo&
