Mountstuart Grant-Duff, the British Governer of Madras in his address to the students of the madras university in 1886 told the students "You are of pure Dravidian race" and he prceeded to say they have been cheated by the Brahmins (even though 75% of listeners were Brahmins) This is the first time in history a group of human beings have been addressed as Dravidian Race.
Therefore Mountstuart Grant-Duff is the father of dravidian race and the year of birth of this race is 1886.
According to colonialists, this race comprises tamil non-brahmins. But the success of european colnialism was not just on military or political field. It's success was psychological and the people of India have adopted the colonialist's view of them instead of saying "Bugger off sonofabitch, we know who we are , you don't have to tell us who we are".
How to create Dravidian Race? Just by saying it again and again from the pens, mouths and keyboards of Western academics, Indologists, missionaries and colonialists
