Tamil borrows all the names of nakshtras, rashish and planets from Sanskrit,
In view of Vedic Rishi Agastya's work, It looks that Tamil is shaped as an
independant language on the tenets of Sanskrit including it's grammar, When
referring to Language, I don't mean script.

There has been no Dravida language in the times Vedas were being re-organized,
Since, In the Vedas, DRAVIDA is name given to God Agni.
 
I don't know whats the work done by zvelebil and others quoted by Jyothi Babu if
they could not trace what DRAVIDA means in Vedic Sanskrit.

India's agony is there has been no national survey on scientific ground ( I am not
using term linguistic ) done to understand relationship between the languages
spoken in India.
