No body invaded muslim countries. Since the early days of Islam muslims have shown aggression against people of other faiths. The Rashidun Calips who were considered as the caliphs of a pure Islamic state killed and persecuted Zoroastrians after they conquered Persia. Millions of Zoroastrians fled to India where they were given refuge. They are now known as Parsis. Muslims have been savages since its founding.
Not really because Sassanids were even at odds with the Aryan tribes of India.
The previously autonomous Kushans were obliged to accept his suzerainty. Although the Kushan empire declined at the end of the 3rd century, to be replaced by the northern Indian Gupta Empire in the 4th century, it is clear that Sasanian influence remained relevant in India's northwest throughout this period.
The Sassanid Empire in 610.
To the east its nearest neighbors were the Kushan Empire of Sasanian territory
In the south in central Arabia, Arab tribes occasionally raided the Sasanian empire. The Kingdom of Al-Hirah, a Sasanian vassal kingdom, was established to form a buffer zone between the empire's mainland and the Arab tribes. The dissolution of the Kingdom of Al-Hirah by Khosrow II in 602 contributed greatly to decisive Sasanian defeats suffered against Arabs later in the century. These defeats resulted in a sudden takeover of the Sasanian empire by Bedouin tribes under the Islamic banner.
Al-Nu'mān III ibn al-Mundhir also transcribed Na'aman, Nu'aman and Noman and often known by the name
Abu Qabus was the last
Lakhmid king of
Al-Hirah (582 – ca. 602 AD) and a
Nestorian Christian Arab.
In 602,
Khosrow II Parvēz imprisoned the Lakhmid king
Numan III and abolished the dynasty, appointing
Iyas ibn Qabisah al-Ta'i, an Arab of the tribe of
Tayy, as governor.
Dhi Qar, watering place near
Kufa in Sasanian Empire (modern

'No matter what you do to the Muslims in Burma, it will forever pale in comparison to the beatings we have handed you throughout history'
In 1989, the
ruling military government changed the name from Burma to Myanmar after thousands were killed in an uprising. The city of Rangoon also became Yangon. Many names across the country changed: Maymyo became Pyin Oo Lwin, Ayeyarwady became Irrawaddy, Moulmein became Mawlamyine.
The term Burma is derived from the Kshatriya title Varma or Barma, also known as Brahmmadesh.
Burma was known as Indra-Dvipa. Hindu settlements began to be established in Burma before the first century A.D.
It is contended that this relationship can be traced back to the time of the Buddha. Hindu settlements were set up in Arakan, Tagaung, Srikshetra, Thaton and Pegu at a very early period. Literary and archaeological evidence shows that the entire culture and civilization of Burma was borrowed from India and not from China. Ptolemy, the geographer, tells us that in the 2nd century A.D. many places in Burma had Sanskrit names. Indian religions flourished in Burma. Many religious structures having the images of Indian gods and goddesses have also been found from Burma.
The Pali literature of Burma on law is based on the
Dharamsastras of Manu, Narada and Yajnavalkya. The art of Burma was also influenced by the Indian ar
t.
In Burma, the finest temple is the Ananda at Pagan. It occupies the center of a spacious courtyard which is 564 ft square. There is no doubt of its derivation from Indian type. Temples of the same type existed in Bengal and most probably suggested the model of the Ananda temple.
" There can be no doubt that the architects who planned and built the Ananda temple were Indians. Everything in this temple from Sikhara to the basement as well as the numerous stone sculptures found in its corridors and the terra-cotta...adoring its basement and terraces, bear the indubitable stamp of Indian genius and craftsmanship...In this sense, we may take it, therefore, that the Ananda, though built in the Burmese capital, is an Indian temple."
Malaya or Sri Vijaya
The greatest of the states was the
Sailendra Empire, or the empire of
Shri Vijaya, which became the dominant power both on sea and land in the whole of Malaysia by the eighth century. The empire was also a sea Power based on trade. Hence you find that it had ports wherever it could get the smallest footing. Indeed a remarkable feature of the settlements of the Sumatrian State was their strategic value - that is to say, they were carefully located at places where they could command the surrounding seas. Often they were in pairs to help each other in maintaining this command. Thus, Singapore, which is a great city now, was originally a settlement of the Sumatran colonists. The name, as you will notice, is a typical Indian name:
Singhpur. The Sumatran people had another settlement just opposite the Straits, facing Singhpur. Sometimes they would stretch an iron chain right across the Strait and so stop all ships from passing till they paid heavy tolls.
So why do you say that we Buddhists are terrorists for killing muslims in Burma when you guys persecuted millions of Buddhists in Pakistan, Afghanistan and China? Who are the real terrorists?
Sardar Kavalam Madhava Panikkar (1896-1963) Indian historian, in his book
A Survey of Indian History
"From the first century A.D we witness the strange fact of Hindu or Hinduised kingdoms in Annam , Cochin-China and the islands of the Pacific.
The Ramayana knew of Java and Sumatra . Communication by sea between the ports of South India and the islands of the Pacific was well established many centuries before the Christian era."

In a special article in The Hindu on 4 January 1946, Sukarno wrote:
"In the veins of every one of my people flows the blood of Indian ancestors and the culture that we possess is steeped through and through with Indian influences. Two thousand years ago people from your country came to Jawadvipa and Suvarnadvipa in the spirit of brotherly love.
"They gave the initiative to found powerful kingdoms such as those of Sri Vijaya, Mataram and Majapahit. We then learnt to worship the very Gods that you now worship still and we fashioned a culture that even today is largely identical with your own. Later, we turned to Islam: but that religion too was brought by people coming from both sides of India."
According to Indian historian,
Dr. K. P. Jayaswal, "Further India was recognized as part of India in the Bharasiva-Vakataka period. In the
Matsya Purana, for the first time we find that recognition. Between the Himavat and the Sea Bharatvarsha stands, but it covers a larger area on account of Indians living in eight more islands (Dvipas). All these Dvipas were to the east. The Malaya Peninsula was well-known to Indians at the time, a fact evidenced by an inscription of the 4th century A.D. on a pillar in the present district of Wellesley. Burma was known as Indradvipa. Ceylon was known as Lanka-Dvipa or Tamraparni. Similarly, Cambodia, Nicobar, Sumatra, Java and Borneo were also known."
Kambhoja, which was a well-known town in ancient India, as was
Gandhara in (present day Afghanistan).
“From the Brahmaputra and Manipur to the Tonkin Gulf we can trace a continuous string of petty states ruled by those scions of the Kshatriya race, using the Sanskrit or the Pali language in official documents and inscriptions, building temples and other monuments of the Hindu style and employing Brahmin priest at the propitiatory ceremonies connected with the court and the state.”
According to historian
Dr. K. P. Jayaswal, "The State of Champa, according the Chinese authorities was founded in 137 A. D.
Champa seems to have been mentioned under the name
Angadvipa by the
Vayu Purana.
Again, Champa was probably the earliest colony, it being a key to the Chinese trade and the point from the islands of Java and Borneo are easily accessible." It maintained close relations with Funan, a fact which must have been largely responsible for the penetration of Indian influence there.
A Hindu dynasty was founded by Sri Mara in the second century A.D. A successor to Sri Mara was the famous king called Bhadravarma. He ruled over the Northern and Central portions of the kingdom comprising the provinces of Amravati and Vijaya and possibly also the Southern province of Panduranga. His greatest contribution was to Hindu culture was the building of the temple of Bhadresvarasvamin (Shiva) at Myson which became the national shrine of the Chams.
It is said that Bhadravarman abdicated his throne to spend his last days on the banks of the river Ganges. This was followed by two dynasties - the
Panduranga dynasty (757-860) and later by the
Bhrigu dynasty (860-985).
Champa passed through various dynasties and war with China continued in the 3rd and 4th century. This was a period of political unrest in China, and which gave Champa the opportunity to expand into Chinese territory. Shiva and Vishnu were worshipped by various names.
Goddess Laxmi was known as Padma or Sri.
As regards to literature, Sanskrit was the language of the learned. It was also the official language of the country. Many kings of Champa were Sanskrit scholars. Brahmi script was used in inscriptions.
Borneo or Varunadvipa
The earliest evidence of Hindu colonies of Borneo is furnished by inscriptions which have been referred on paleographic grounds to about 400 A.D. These inscriptions refer to king Mula-varman, son of Asva-varman and grandson of king Kundunga. Mula-varman performed a sacrifice known as Vahusu-varmakam and gave 20,000 cows to the Brahmins. A number of Hindu and Buddhist images have been found in Kombeng.
