The term "Dravidar" generally refers to people who speak Dravidian languages, which are spoken primarily in southern India and parts of Sri Lanka. The Dravidian people are believed to be one of the oldest ethnic groups in India and have a distinct culture and history.
In recent times, the term "Dravidar" has been used in the context of the Dravidian political movement in Tamil Nadu, which seeks to promote the rights and interests of the Dravidian people in southern India. The movement was founded in the early 20th century and has played a significant role in the political and cultural life of Tamil Nadu. Some of the prominent figures associated with the Dravidian movement include E.V. Ramasamy (also known as "Periyar"), C.N. Annadurai, and M. Karunanidhi. The Dravidian movement has been instrumental in shaping the politics and society of Tamil Nadu, and has had an impact on the broader political and social landscape of India.
