South India is also known as "Dravida," thus anyone from the region may be called "Dravidian." However, more specifically, Dravidian peoples are those whose native language belongs to the Dravidian language family. The majority of South Indians do speak a Dravidian language, however many others speak a language belonging to the Munda language family instead and thus they are not, in this sense, "Dravidian."

Do south Indian boys get attracted towards north Indian girls?

Some South Indians are attracted to North Indians and it is the same with North Indians. I am a Syrian Malabar Nasrani and our ancestors were converted from the Brahmins who migrated from North India. If you ask me they were the purest of the Brahmins. As they did not even let other Brahmins come near them as they believed they would get polluted. By the way your question is written it sounds as if you think South Indians are Dravidians who were conquered by Aryans. You must understand the Dravidians aren't the tribal people who are really dark-skinned and have flat noses also bushy hair. Also not all South Indians are Dravidians. I would say about 21% or more South Indians have Aryan blood running through their veins. The rest of South Indians are either from the lower castes like the Pulay who look very similar to Adivasis and the Drsavidians such as the Ezhavas in Kerala.

Who were the Dravidians and the Arians?

Arians are an ancient tribe living in western Afghanistan. This can be confused with Aryans, which are the people who live in Northern India. These northern Indians are lighter skinned because of the cooler climate found in North India. Dravidians are those people that occupy South India, and tend to be darker skinned because of the hotter climate in the southern area of India.

Oh, dude, here we go! So, technically speaking, Indians are not considered Caucasian. The term "Caucasian" typically refers to people of European descent, while Indians are usually classified as Asian. But hey, if you want to get all technical and stuff, some definitions of "Caucasian" include people from the Indian subcontinent, so like, who really knows, right?
