The Dravidian Letter

Dear Divadasa, leader of the Aryans,

I am the leader of the Dravidians, and my people and are furious, for what you have done to us. I want to know why you and your people came to us, taking our land, and the very land that we have called home for centuries, driving us down to southern India. We have lifed on that land much longer than you, but yet you think that you have the right to come to India taking our land. But taking our land isn't the only thing that you and your people have done to us. You and your people have ruined our ancient Hindu religion, our agriculture, our social life, and worst of all you have moved us down the Caste System. We will no longer stand for this madness. So I feel that we the Dravidians should have the land that you took from us that is rightfully ours, and you and your people can have the land which we live on today. Also you and your people have changed the ancient Hindu religion of my people, by changing it from it's original form, by adding, and removing ancient ways that were never supposed to be messed with. You have also forsed your new religion on my people, completely destroying who we are as Dravidians. Taking our land is bad enough, but changing the ways of our belief is just outrageous.  You and your people have also changed our agriculture, by building on our ancient, sacred land, building houses, stores, and many other buildings. You have also destroyed many of our temples, and many other important buildings. Doing this is just dustusting and cruel. You are just rubbing it in our faces, as if we weren't mad enough. And probably the worst thing that you have done to my people and I, is you have made us lower in the Caste system. Doing this to us is just like peeing on our heads laughing. We were great people, with power, and respect, but you have completely taken that away from us. We had a place that we called home, and our lifes were perfect, and full of peace, untill you and your people came to India taking everything that we had away from us. What is your purpose for this madness? Why have you done this to us, is it for power, or wealth? We deserve to be respected. The Dravidians have never done anything to you and your people. You have destroyed who we are as Dravidians, and everything that we stand for and everything that has to do with us. You and your people have changed the way of our life, and because of the we will be forever different, and never the same. And for this, we will never be able to forgive you and your people. When you are in need of help, we will leave you to die. 

From, 
The Dravidians.

 
Land that the Dravidians lived on after Aryans took their land.

One of the ancient Dravidian buildings that still stands to day in North India. The Aryans didn't destroy this one.

Land that the Aryans took from the Dravidians, and that they lived on. 

Preface: This is not an actual letter that was written in the past. It is a letter that I have writen, to say how the Dravidians didn't like the Aryans, and how they impacted the dravidians life.
