"Dravidian of South India"

Isn't this the same thing as saying "Chai-Tea"? As "Dravidian" already means "Southern". Dravida = South in Sanskrit.

Yes, but it’s context for folks unfamiliar with Dravidians. And yes, said folks do have devices to quickly look up these things as well :)

I don’t know about the Dravidians. But in English (UK/US) “chai tea” does not just mean any tea. It is commonly used to refer to to black tea spiced with specific mix of spices.

It is true that “chai” means tea in many languages, but the meaning in English is more specific. (At least in the usage i have encountered.)
