Robert Caldwell (1857).
The Dravidian Linguistics Association which met during its annual national conference held in June 2015 decided to launch a year-long program comprising of an International Conference and a number of seminars and workshops throughout the year. This is in consonance with the idea of promoting and invigorating the study and the synthesis of the knowledge of Dravidian Linguistics that is accumulated in the last two centuries largely through the efforts of Dravidologists like M.B. Emeneau, Thomas Burrow, Bh. Krishnamurti, P.S. Subrahmanyam, Kamil Zvelebil, and M. S. Andronov.
