Oye Karina, You are partly right, but Dravids were not natives.
Karina, if you are an Indian, have you ever wondered what India was called in anceint times,before persians named it Hindoostan??
[stan is a farsi for land]. Sorry, this is a total off topic question.

Soul I said we can fight to eradicate it in the sense bring it down to negligible levels.
Sorry, I forgot my history. The natives were the adivasis and Dravids and Aryans came across. India was Bharat of course....do correct me if I'm wrong fellow Indian. :)

Dravidians are also immigrants into India. In fact the Dravidian languages in India (and Brahui in Pakistan) belong to the Elamo-Dravidian family of languages. The Elamo-branch is extinct and was spoken in Mesopotamia from where the Dravidians came!

Both Aryan and Dravidian are offshoots of a race called the Caucasoid race. The Tamilian and the Kashmiri are all members of the caucasoid race.

Actually Dravidian and Aryan languages are cousins. Both belong to a super-family called Nostratic, that includes Indo-European(Aryan), Dravidian, Semitic, Finno-Ugrik, and some others.

Harappa, or more appropriately the Sindhu-Sarasvati civilization was multiethnic, and was created by both groups.
Karina, i will send you the pic via pm of original population of india, who are now found only on Andamans and Nicobar islands.
They were genetically much different from us. they belong to Australoid race.
As for India's original name!! even before Bharat!! Bharat is post vedic.
well during indus valley civillisation, India was 'Meluhha'.
Dat makes you and me both -Meluhhis.
