minor correction, for the record: Max Müller did a lot of research into 'Aryan' culture via Sanskrit. Müller attempted to learn more about the origins of European religion and culture by reconstructing proto-Indo European language. Müller was opposed to Darwinism applied to people, and was very opposed to people using the term Aryan for racist purposes. He believed the shared history of different races should show we're all the same. The term 'Aryan' was coined for Western ears slightly before Müller. Robert Caldwell was the first one who came up with the term 'Dravidian' following his research into the matter. Prior to Caldwell, Dravidian languages and cultures were seen entirely through the lens of Sanskrit, although even today, as I mentioned before, this Sanskritic perspective to explain more than the evidence supports is kept alive by some people & interests.

On an interesting side note, according to Wikipedia, Müller also said, "the blackest Hindus represent an earlier stage of Aryan speech and thought than the fairest Scandinavians". That statement is true, even though Müller was not alive when the IVC was discovered -- swastika symbol clay seals have been found in the IVC, meaning that the swastika predates anything 'Aryan'. And there's similar irony with the red-and-black colors, in case you're wondering.
