indianisation and its influence on the modern southeast asia
Now that we have talked about Indian influence in the Khmer Empire, we will move on to discuss the evidence of Indianisation in other parts of the region.
Not only has Indianisation shaped the pre-modern societies of Southeast Asia, these societies have also gone on to mould the culture, heritage and identity of the Southeast Asian states of today.
Even now, about seven centuries later, Indian ideas are still present in the region, such as in political systems, religions, cultures, as well as physical artefacts. All this indicates that Indianisation did indeed have a lasting influence on the region.
