How does that change anything? They live in the Kalat area of Balochistan & are Pakistani Nationals. There are also a significant number who speak the language on the Iranian side as well as in Afghanistan. It's a language which has a considerable number of words from Balochi and is roughly of the same age.
"Some tribes speak Brahui and some speak Balochi, and there are many that speak both. For instance, members of the Langov tribe, who inhabit central Balochistan in the Mangochar area, speak Balochi as their first language and Brahui as a second language. The Bizenjo tribe that inhabit Khuzdar, Nal and regions of Makran, along with the Muhammadsanis, one of the largest Baloch tribes, speak both languages. Another example is the Bangulzai tribe which is a Brahui-speaking tribe, but a sub-tribe of the Bangulzai, the Garanis, speak Balochi and are known as Balochi-speaking Bangulzais.
Presently Brahui is spoken in Balochistan (Iran), Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Sindh and the Gulf Arab states. Historically, all Khans of Balochistan were Brahui speakers. Balouchi is still spoken in court and in home settings."

My point is that cultures in the sub continent are very complex and don't easily lend themselves to simple explanations. Genetically most people of the subcontinent excluding the mongoloids are classified as Caucasian.There is no difference in Balochi, Brahui,Punjabi, Pashtun, Tamil, Malyalee, Kannadiga on that basis. So maybe, just maybe, you won't find yourself insulted if someone mentions about the existence of a Dravidian connection in Pakistan.
BTW one language that has a close connection to Brahui is Kurukh/Oraon which is spoken by tribal people in east India as well as northern Bangladesh. That too is a Dravidian language which would mark Dravidian presence in both West Pakistan & the former East Pakistan.
There is no proof tht brahuis language is even of dravidian family.
They dont look like dravadians nor speak like them.The color the flat features of dravidians are not seen in brahuis.
Second its a well known fact tht brahuis claim to be balouch while balouchis dont accept them being from ethnic group.
Dravadians were like the aboriginals of the sub continent.Then how can be brahuis who live in afghanistan,iran,Pakistan,turkmenistan and gulf states be dravadian????
Bezinjos dont speak brahui they speak balouchi...those who speak both languages are either brahuis themselves or of areas dominated by brauhei populated areas..
Brahuis dont even make a big mass of balouchistan.
U call a brahui a dravidians he wont like it very much.if u know wat i mean
NOTE= Im not being racist or anything...just replying to a post by indian guy.
