If you want to be a supremacist, you have to be supreme to something, and anything that might question that (even hypotheses) is a threat to that feeling.

It has been a few years since I went down the rabbit hole of Indus valley - I did find one recent article https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/new-study-connects...
Hypotheses are useless if they are not backed up by any evidence. All our evidence points towards the existence of Proto-Dravidian, not of ancient Tamil.
