Today I received a mail from my colleague just having this link.
http://www.datanumeric.com/dravidian/index.html
It pointed to a detailed document on "Discovery of Dravidian as the common source of Indo-European". A lot of examples and a detailed narrations are put up to that effect.
That said, I think whenever a person is exposed to a new language all of a sudden, he tries to correlate it with the language that he knows best. Thus, if you are exposed to many new languages, and if you come across similarities between the one's you have mastered and the new ones, you get a feeling that all languages in the world might have sprung up from a very few common sources, if not a single source.
I also believe the origin of man and the various races and immigration issues also matter in the context of languages. It is widely beleived now that man would have originated from Kenya and spread the entire africa and a group moved towards central Asia, India, south Asia to Australia.
