Their genealogical tree has some other issues (like merging Austroasiatic Vietnamese and Khmer into Austronesian), but I thought the Dravidian family is relatively uncontroversial and a proto-language can be reconstructed?

(NB. The script used to write a language and loanwords from other language families have no bearing on its linguistic classification.)
