Brief overview of Indian colonization of the far East:
-By the time of the first 5 centuries of the common era Indian traders actively participated in trade with the far east and established trading colonies in the Siam, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malay peninsula. They were accompanied by several kshatriya and brAhmaNa immigrants who started establishing Indian-styled monarchies in the region. Most of the early brahminical colonies were localized to Takua Pa, Nakhon Sri and Dhammarat in the peninsula
-Before 400 AD the shrivijaya Kingdom was founded in the Island of Sumatra by kshatriyas.
-Before 500 AD the kshatriya pUrNavarman founded a kingdom in Western Java.
-By around 600-700AD kshatriya sanjaya founded a mighty kingdom in Central Java with matarAm.
-By around mid 700s the shailendra empire arose in Java who started one of the most remarkable series of conquests of the Eastern Indic potentates. They annexed all the pre-existing Indic states in Malayasia, Java, Sumatra, Bali, Borneo and further islands of modern Indonesia. Subsequently they raided Vietnam and Cambodia and established control over these regions for some time. Their empire known as suvarNadvipa established diplomatic relationships with the cholas and pAlas in India and with the emperor of China. They also built a university modeled after nAlandA and kanchi in Java. The great tantric dipAmkarashriGYAna from Bengal studied there at some point.
-The shailendra emperor mAravijayottungavarman, was a great ally of chola emperor rAjarAja, who helped him the construction of vihAra in jAva.
-The shailendras fell out with the cholas after an apparent dispute over trade with China. This resulted in rAjendra launching a massive amphibious assault on the shailendras. It resulted in a total route of the shailendras with the cholas seizing the Malay peninsula, Java and Sumatra.
