BISHOP Dr. ROBERT CALDWELL AND REDEFINITION OF DRAVIDA

Dr. G Premkumar

Abstract :

Bishop Robert Caldwell, a Christian Missionary came to South India and settled in Idayangudi in the present Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu State. He did research in the south Indian vernacular languages for conversion purpose and discovered the Dravidian antiquity. His research and writings created a separate identity in India among the Tamils about their language and culture i.e., Dravida /Dravidian. The Dravidian consciousness explored by Caldwell is really an unanticipated legacy to the emergence of Dravidian Movement in the20th Century Tamilnadu.
