Deleted Paragrah

[edit]

I've removed this paragraph as it has no citation(s) and resembles personal opinion.

"before all of that there was a princess who helped her father ruled the entire gangga nagaram.The ancient hindus was guardung upon something very powerful source. Some said there was a war occured something really terrific. But till now have not get a hint about it. Even before anyone else the hinduism was here ,the entire city falls on 1026. So from that we can state that the ruler of this land was Indians.But how does islam came here is the question. Perhaps some believes that they were just pirates wjo conquered the land and claimed it is theirs." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjovn (talk • contribs) 23:38, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to disappointed the writer, but historian said otherwise:

N.J.Ryan argues that in Kedah in the North-West of the Malaysian peninsula, there was no large immigration of Indian settlers; rather there was the influence of traders and missionaries. These people, rather like the Europeans in later centuries, were responsible for popularizing their way of life and religion. Many inhabitants - Malay by race - became Hindu or Buddhists, and they built the temples whose remains have been found in Kedah. Thus the population of Kedah for example, did not change, and CHINESE REPORT AFFIRM that the native societies had adopted Indian culture but had not become Indian colonies. [1976:8] (I got this from Tamil Historian paper work-TAMILINFLUENCEMALAY by T.Wignesan ,Docteur d’Etat ès lettres et sciences human ,University of Paris-I-Panthéon-Sorbonne)

The chinese record had proven it...So you can just drop this statement "the ruler of this land was Indians" since there is no historical record to prove it.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.159.185.162 (talk) 17:00, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed material

[edit]

I've removed the following. It's irrelevant. And I contest the following uncited statement:

Ancient sea traders
As early as 2500 BCE, the Indians already had sea trading connections with the Mesopotamia, they invented the word "Navgath" which later evolved into navigate. The world's first tidal dock was found in Lothal on the Gujarat coast of India. At 425 BCE, there were evidence the Babylonians sailed to South China Sea and Chinese silk was sent to ancient Greece by sea, this is about the time Southeast Asia has been discovered by traders. In the old days, Southeast Asia was a 'No Man's Land' where Indian traders free to build their colonies of sea trading with China, they migrated to various beneficial locations to make money and Indianized the natives. The ancient sea trading of Southeast Asia lasted more than 1500 years and benefited many kings, whereas the poor would go for piracy to rob ships that passing by.
The coming of Islam
As the sea tradings to China getting popular, year 616 CE the maternal uncle of prophet Muhammad (571 – 632), Abu Waqqas, joined a trading voyage from Ethiopia to Guangzhou. He returned back to Guangzhou 21 years later with a copy of the Koran and founded the Mosque of Remembrance, near the Kwang Ta (Smooth Minaret) built as a lighthouse. His tomb is in the Muslim cemetery in Guangzhou today. Years later, four missionaries were sent to China by the prophet Mohammad, two of them died in Quanzhou and were buried as honoured guests, the tombs repeatedly repaired and embellished until the present. Year 651 CE saw the first Arab embassy to China and soon the Islamic traders too, built a new colony at the west coast of Sumatra at year 674 CE.
