I don't know why, but I'm rather skeptical about all this.
There's nothing concrete which proves the Dravidian nature of Hindus
scripts language.
As for me it was a language isolate, not known at all, not related
both with Dravidian and with Elamic. All we know is that Sumerian
named this people Meluhha, not Mleccha (that has a palatal sound).
Folk etymologies trying to find some links with Sanskrit are even
worse. I read some stuff you provide me, but I'm not satisfied. All
this looks like a crackpot theory.
