I accept ur arguement...
Isram spread through peace in indonesia, malaysia and maldives etc..
U see thats y ur countries are relatively developed than others.... And indonesia always respect its past... Have the national symbal as Garuda(which is mount of Vishnu) and still follow the glorious dances , folk arts in saying stories of mahabharata..
There are many krishna-Arjuna stories and statues in indonesia... People respect their past and anchestory... They claim it as their own... Malaysia also proudly respects its past...
But here in Subcontinent dont....
U r wrong in this... HInduism spreaded in 5th Century AD, when one sage visited malay peninsula and Sri vijaya...
Tamil chola kings conquered it only in 11th century... there was definitely spread of hinduism before that... Even phillipines had hindu anchestory... But no one from india conquered them,,... But kings from vietnam, thailand laos combodia may have conquered them .. that time those kings were hindus too...
@Limpeh are u a tamil?
Thanks for the clarification and info mate And yup, I'm Tamil Singaporean. My ancestors came out of Tamil Nadu way back in the 1820's to Singapore. I have read about the Chola kings too Tamil is one of the 4 official languages here and its one of the three you can opt to study in school as a 2nd language here. Tamil contribution in our nation-building is immense! Back then we had to import your little square textbook from India before we started printing our own. So I learnt quite a fair deal about your country and our shared heritage together. Ahh good times!
@Rajaraja Chola - Sorry to the others if this is slightly offtopic but I just have one question to this poster.
I'd like to know as well mate, if u have any information as to how the Tamil rule over the Malay Peninsula in the 11th century was and how it actually impacted the society. I tried searching this up on the Net but the information I have from there is very limited. There are no local sources to fall back on either. Singapore's official recorded history begins in 1819 and everything prior to that has been dumped into the 'based on rumors' category. Would appreciate it if u knew anything about this and could point me in the right direction.
