Re: roadrunner:kindly differentiate vedism and hinduism
Brahmanical Hinduism originated from India, and in South India, Brahmins are Dravidian.

Iyengar, moreover, notes the profound influence which Dravidian has effected upon Sanskrit:
"The Aryans on their arrival at the north-west frontier found the Dravidians in flourishing communities. It can be asserted that the subsequent development of the uncultured Vedic tongue, which resulted in Sanskrit, was owing to the influence of the highly civilized Dravidian, when the former came into contact with the latter. Prof. Rapson (ftn. p.50, Cambridge History of India Vol.I) bears testimony to the fact that the aboriginal languages in the south of India were associated with a high degree of culture, and hence it is not surprising to note the presence of the Dravidian element in Sanskrit.

We know Sanskrit is not a Dravidian language genius. Look up its classification anywhere. It's a pan Dravidian Hindu website that admits Vedism and Hinduism are different. At least some people can.
