Category:Indianized kingdoms
The Indianised kingdoms of South East Asia within Indosphere were historical states strongly influenced by Indian culture, language and religion. This concept first described by George Coedès, is based upon the Hindu and Buddhist cultural and economic influences in Southeast Asia.[2] Greater India expanded through political mandalas with the historical influence of India on Southeast Asia. These culturally Indianised Hindu kingdoms were mostly ruled by the indigenous Southeast Asian rulers who were often independent of direct rule by India, however often brahmins, panditss and scholars from India were appointed to guide the court. States such as Majapahit and the Khmer empire developed territories and economies that were as large as some of the large kingdoms in India. However, Srivijaya, the largest Southeast Asian empire, was a vassal of the Indian Tamil Chola empire after the Chola invasion of Srivijaya.
