It is clear from Dravidian traditions that they entered India from two directions. Firstly they crossed directly into India across a landmass called Kumarinadu. The first people would have been the Australians and later the pygmies. Remnants of this first population would be the
Munda people.The Dravidians came later.

The second route was via Iran. Segments of the Proto-Dravidians migrated into the Indus Valley by boats and chariots. Other Dravidians migrated into South India and over time founded the South Indian megalithic.

From the Indus Valley the Mande and Dravidian people went into Central and East Asia via chariots in search of metals. Over time they founded the Xia and First Shang civilization.

The Dravidian speakers remained supreme until the Han, led by the Zhou conquered the Classical Mongoloids of the 2nd Shang empire. The Zhou took the knowledge of the li min "Black People" to perfect their civilization. Over time they began to hunt down the Blacks, especially the Qiang tribe, and sacrifice them for good luck.

Beginning with the Han and later "white" Huns the Qiang-->Kushana were pushed out of Gansu and Xianjiang back into Central Asia. It would appear that many Mongols sided with the Blacks.

The Chinese began to push the Tamil and other Blacks out of South China. Many fled to the Islands. Most retreated into Yunnan. In Yunnan they were pushed out of the region into Southeast Asia by the Chinese and Dai Viet.

The Central Asian Tamil-Mande groups were pushed back into India by Tibeto-Burman speakers and Austro-Asiatic speaking groups related to people in Southeast Asia. They had to fight their way back into India and join the Tamil in the south.

Some of the present Austro-Asiatic and Tibeto-Burman linguistic families, in addition to a few language isolates in North India are remnants of the people who chased the Tamil into India from Central
Asia , Southeast Asia and Yunnan.
