Otherwise we see Shaivism
in the North, in Kailas, Benares and Kashmir, and Shiva as Rudra of the
Vedas. What have thereby been proposed as radical cultural differences between the North and
South of India are merely regional variations in the vast cultural complex of the subcontinent and its
interrelated spiritual traditions.
Dravidian pride or nationalism need not depend upon the
Aryan invasion theory or denigrating the culture of North India. The Dravidians have
long been one of the most important peoples of India and, perhaps ironically, have
been the best preservers of Vedic culture itself. The best Vedic Sanskrit,
rituals and traditions can be found only in the south of India. That
South India was able to do this suggests the importance and antiquity of Vedic culture to
this region.
