[edit] Indianized kingdom
Charles F. Keyes, prof. of anthropology, University of Washington and director of the Northwest Regional Consortium for Southeast Asia Studies has this to say in The golden peninsula : culture and adaptation in mainland Southeast Asia, (Honolulu: SHAPS Library of Asian Studies, University of Hawai'i Press, 1995), ISBN 0-8248-1696-x, Chap. 2 footnote 1, p. 106: The foremost authority on early Southeast Asian history, Professor George Coedès, first used the term hindouisé for those societies that borrowed elements from India. However, most authorities writing in English have preferred the term "Indianization" to avoid the misleading impression that only Hinduism was diffused from India to Southeast Asia. For a recent excellent study of "Indianization" and the characteristics of "Indianized" civilization, see Paul Wheatley, "Satyānrta in Suvarṇadvīpa: From Reciprocity to Redistribution in Ancient Southeast Asia," in Ancient Civilization and Trade, ed. by Jeremy Sabloff and C. C. Lamberg-Karlovsky (Albuquerque: University of New Mexicon Press, (1975), pp. 227-83. Lee 18:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
