So far as the Indian colonization of Java is concerned, it is believed by many historians that a prince from Gujarat, with some 5,000 followers, settled in Central Java in A.D. 525, 599, or 603. (It is also a fact that the Hindus of Java had been conquered by the Muslim invaders before the first arrival of the Portuguese settlers in the beginning of the sixteenth century.) A reinforcement of 2,000 people was sent from Gujarat. ‘From this period Java was known and celebrated as a kingdom; an extensive commerce was carried with Gujarat and other countries, and the Bay of Matārem was filled with adventurers from all parts.’
