Abstract

ABSTRACT India’s amiable history with Vietnam began with peaceful migration to Southeast Asia from the beginning of the Common Era and discovery of new land and sea routes. Yet, modern Vietnamese consider India distant and remote. Indian culture reached Vietnam in “benign and peaceful” waves, while China’s onslaught was “forceful and potent.” India is neither a threat nor concerning runs the argument. Without surveys, we cannot be sure this is a consensus view. Clearer is that Vietnamese do not write revisionist histories to deny the migration of Indian princes, merchants, and philosophers in the first millennium. There is recognition of the Hinduized Champa as part of Vietnamese culture.
