The Dravidian Movement, Robert L. Hardgrave Jr.'s 1965 scholarly study, Popular Prakashan, Bombay, connects Robert Caldwell's 1856 comparative linguistics classification to the twentieth century Dravidian political movement: the Non Brahmin Movement, the Justice Party, the Self Respect Movement, Dravida Kazhagam and the DMK. Its strength is that it is the foundational academic study connecting the linguistic classification to the political movement it inspired. Its limit is its age, sixty years; the movement's more recent political history since Hardgrave wrote needs a separate, more current source.

Tier one: the foundational academic study connecting Robert Caldwell's linguistic classification to the Dravidian political movement it inspired. Its limit is its age, now sixty years; the movement's more recent political history needs a separate, more current source.
Notes
Foundational academic study connecting Caldwell's 1856 comparative-linguistics classification to the twentieth-century Dravidian political movement: the Non-Brahmin Movement, the Justice Party, the Self-Respect Movement, Dravida Kazhagam and the DMK. Squarely the fact's own political-identity claim.
