        Being if dravidian descent, like most of south India, they definitely identify as Hindu and have the same range of fervor from barely religious up to religious nationalist as the rest of India.

        Hinduism amalgamated a lot of local religions and philosophies as well, so proto Hindu beliefs and traditions are also part of modern Hinduism.
