There are some Dravidians who have Veddoid ancestry, but there are also some Dravidians who have Caucasoid ancestry
But the problem is that the very vast majority of Dravidians seem to have both ancestry, probably on very equal terms. Also we know only very little about who both the Veddoids and the original south indians Caucasoids were. So there is a lot of ambiguity here.

tell me what's so Veddoid about these Dravidians? How do you not identify such looks as Caucasian?
well you can actually break these people in your pictures, further down into three groups:

1) these are perfect Indian Caucasians without any physical signs of having admixture:

2) predominantly they are very Caucasian looking, but few signs of racial admixture are starting to pop up:

3) And finally These here are Racially Mixed peoples who have strong non-Caucasian features showin up:

Dravidians can be Caucasians, and being Caucasian does not mean being white.

If many people can comfortably view somebody like eva longoria or benjamin bratt(half Quechua) as being Caucasians, then Dravidians can also be called Caucasians too. But if there are others who can't bring themselves in accepting these two people as being Caucasians, then I would have to say don't even bother calling south indians a Caucasian people. Personally I would rather that Dravidians not be be viewed as Caucasians because that would help in neglecting parts of our other ancestry.
