In the past Europeans had trade link with modern Kerala, a Malayalam speaking state of Southern India, Christian missionaries were welcomed by the ruling family and several Churches were established. Later on, with spread of Islam we find Muslims traders from Central Asia arriving in Kerala. Modern Tamilnadu and undivided Andhra attracted Europeans and these foreigners established trading centers preached Christianity, defeated local kings and established foreign rules. Southern States are clouded by Dravidian culture and some scholars claim Dravidian were in touch with the people of Indus but such claims are only of academic interest and common people are least interested in knowing these speculations about their ancestors. There is nothing common in southern states. One state is under
