Yes, in Danavas he was describing the denizens of Lanka.

Looking into the history of Ireland, the earliest inhabitants of the land were the Tuatha-De-Dannan (children of Goddess Danu). These are the proto-celts. The IE settlers came later according to Irish legends, they were the Milesians.
So the earlier celts can be distinguished from the later arrivals. Though both are now called celts. Both are now merged, so we can see male and female celtic dieties now. I am for the present believing that this is a feature post amalgamation of these two.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Also, Devas and Rakshasas at least have always been considered non-human by Indians, in spite of what the indologicals liked to preoccupy themselves with in order to prove their AIT.
Early Indians did not equate even Rakshasas with humans, as also alluded to in the Talageri link <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I recently found that there exists a tribe called Sudan in Kashmir to this day. This was referred to by many Indian experts like B. Raman while describing the paki General Mohammad Aziz (co-architect of kargil) who is supposed to belong to that tribe. Now Sudan is the shortened form of Su-Danava.
There is also a Indian model + movie actor by name of Inder Sudan, also a kashmiri.
From an Iranian source on the net also I read about this Sudanava thing and I found that these are indeed people. There was a northern group of Sudanavas around the Bactria region and southern group centred around North of Indus. So these are indeed human.
there is some discussions regarding this in this board as well.
