Hindu and Buddhist concepts and symbols of kingship and statecraft helped to legitimize Southeast Asian rulers, and transform the political institutions and authority of Southeast Asia. But the process of this diffusion was not accompanied by imperialism, political hegemony, or "colonization" as conventionally understood. This book investigates different explanations of the spread of Indian ideas offered by scholars, including why and how it occurred and what were its key political and institutional outcomes. It challenges the view that strategic competition is a recurring phenomenon when civilizations encounter each other.Southeast AsiaCivilizationIndic influencesSoutheast AsiaPolitics and governmentIndiaRelationsSoutheast AsiaSoutheast AsiaRelationsIndia303.4825105Acharya Amitav480885Institute of Southeast Asian Studies,UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910968359803321Civilizations in embrace4106101UNINA
