I read somewhere that the religious texts do not have any mention of referring to some people as 'Dravidians'. There is rife debate on whether the people in the Dravid were the original inhabitants, who had been forced to move southward by the Central Asian Aryan settlers.
So, I would like to know if the texts have any mention of referring to people of the south as 'Dravidians' (may or may not be presumed inferior).

Does the use of 'Dravida' have a derogatory aspect anywhere? Also, is 'mlechha' used to refer to them?

@AabeshGhosh I do not think its derogatory.But its believed that Agastya took Vedas to the Southern part of India. No, I dont think they were called mlechchas so far as my limited knowledge goes.
