No it is not true. All Indian languages belong to one Indian family. The Aryan Dravidian divide was suggested by a British Christian Missionary named F W Ellis in 1816. There is no proof for this divide at all.
Of course, nutcase Christians and people like Krishna might want to follow it. Let them follow their colonial masters and suck their boots if they want to!

Yes, and I would like to add further. Those who believe in the teachings of Hinduism would find that the AryanInvasion theory contradicts with their beliefd. According to Bhagawan Shri Satya Sai Baba, Lord Krishna was born around 3000BC( he said a n exact date whcih I could not reacall) in the dwarka prison. The Aryans, however, "invaded" at 1000BC, and this was not at all mentioned by the people who lived on, who continously wrote and rewrote the gospels of the Vedas and the Mahabarata in the palmleaf manuscripts. Not one verse in the Veda talks about the migration of aryans, only about a few wars, which we can presume to be internal.
The Brahmins might have been a mixture of Aryans and Dravidians. They do not know prescisely who is what. The Indo-Europeans might have migrated there way,way before 1500 BC, bu that would be before recorded history, and the Vedic civilisation would be that of the Mohenjo Daro and fo the Aryans and dravidians

Aryans came from the Ural mountains in the Asia- Europe border. They had the idea of GOD and his forms. Their language was Sanskrit. Some Aryan nomads went west into Eurpoe and gave birth to Indo-European languages. Those that came to Harappa clashed with the Dravidians there, chasing them into the Indian mainland and further south (they had superior weapons & technology). Dravidians worshipped nature and did not have any concept of God. Aryans gave Dravidians the idea of God.It is with the confluence of Aryans and Dravidians that Hinduism was born. That's why Dravidian 'rattatin rattams' like Veeramani, Periyaar & Karunanidhi are atheists.
