This is not a surprise.

For years, Kalyanaraman is writing how the linguists have
wrongly formed a language family called Dravidian. In Indology list,
S. Kalyanaraman wrote in 1995:
"I think I have proved that Burrow and Emeneau's
work is an aberrant, erroneous construct of a artificial family; ..."

He has proceeded to key in the some available
dictionaries of Indian languages and this's what makes him
claim that Dravidan linguists' works and DED are
"aberrant, erroneous construct".

Well, linguists see thru' all these.
