History of India, c. 150 A.D. to 350 A.D.: Naga–Vakataka Imperial Period c26.27

c26.27

'This volume deals with the history and civilization of Indian Colony in Annam. It is a most fascinating story of Indian activities outside India, in a far off land during the first fifteen hundred years of the Christian Era. It tells us in graphic language how the sons of India braved the perils of the sea more than two thousand years ago and created a New and Greater India in the Far East. It publishes more than 100 inscriptions, written in Sanskrit, which have been discovered in Annam and gives a detailed account of the development of Indian religion—particularly Saivism and Vaisnavism,—myths and legends, sculpture and architecture, social and political systems in a new land. It is a glorious but a forgotten chapter of Indian History and knowledge of Indian History would remain incomplete without it.'
