Hi you guys meet again in sorek

0:06

Indonesia in this episode we

0:09

will discuss the process of

0:11

entry of Hinduism and Buddhism into

0:13

Indonesia How Hinduism and

0:15

Buddhism can enter and spread in

0:17

Indonesia to answer

0:19

this question there are more or less four theories

0:21

that can explain the j2store

0:25

namely the Brahmana theory The Knight theory The

0:27

Waisya theory and the Backflow theory

0:30

actually S1 theory again namely the

0:33

Sudra theory put forward by Van Faber

0:35

but this theory is considered weak and

0:38

not as strong as the other 4yy Okay Guys let's get

0:41

straight to the first theory The Waisya theory The

0:44

theory put forward by NJ krom

0:48

states that the Waisya group or

0:50

traders played an active role

0:51

in spreading Hinduism and Buddhism in

0:53

Indonesia trade relations between India

0:57

and Indonesia have been going on since

0:59

the century of public relations

1:00

Bi The Indonesian archipelago is a

1:02

sea route for trade from China

1:05

to the Middle East or vice versa

1:08

at first Indian traders

1:10

sailed to trade at that time the

1:13

trade route was only taken by

1:15

sea and they used

1:18

sailing ships to get to the trade destination

1:21

This caused them to depend

1:24

on the wind season and natural conditions if the

1:27

wind season was not possible then

1:29

they would stay longer and

1:31

wait for a Good Season while

1:34

waiting for the sea winds that helped

1:35

the voyage to their hometown in

1:37

India Indian traders so that

1:39

several months In Indonesia, the

1:43

long interaction between Indian traders

1:45

and the indigenous population

1:47

indirectly influenced the

1:49

belief system of our society which still

1:51

holds animism and

1:52

dynamism. These traders

1:55

introduced Hinduism and Buddhism

1:57

to the indigenous people

2:00

and many of these traders also

2:02

married the

2:03

indigenous people and through

2:06

these marriages they introduced

2:08

Indian culture which is thick with

2:10

Hinduism. Although this theory is quite

2:13

strong, there are also several

2:14

objections, guys. The first is that the

2:17

WC group cannot master

2:19

Sanskrit and the initial letters. How is the

2:22

language and letters used in the

2:24

Vedas? The Vedas can only be read

2:27

by the Brahmins. The second objection

2:31

concerns cultural centers in the form of

2:33

Hindu kingdoms, especially those on the

2:35

island of Java. If they were spread by

2:38

traders, the centers of

2:40

Hindu and Buddhist culture should be on

2:42

the coast, but the facts show that the

2:45

Hindu kingdom is located in the interior of the island of Java.

2:48

Brahmin theory. This theory was put forward

2:53

by JC Van Leur according to

2:55

Dutch historians. This entry of Hinduism and

2:58

Buddhism was spread by the Brahmins

3:00

and/or religious leaders. According to Van Leur, the

3:03

Brahmins came from India to

3:05

Indonesia at the invitation of tribal leaders

3:07

in order to legitimize or

3:10

formalize themselves so that they are equal

3:12

to kings in India Before the

3:15

entry of Hinduism and Buddhism into

3:17

Indonesia, our nation's social system

3:19

still held a customary system where the

3:22

tribal chief was the leader of the community,

3:24

guys, if written noodles from the

3:27

first Hindu kingdom in the archipelago, namely the

3:29

Kutai kingdom, then Hinduism

3:31

was spread around the 4th century AD

3:34

based on this theory, namely observations

3:36

of the remains of kingdoms

3:38

in Indonesia, especially inscriptions

3:41

written where the Pallawa letters were engraved

3:44

in rasa sih and in Sanskrit.

3:47

Brahmins are the only group

3:49

that is able to master Sanskrit

3:52

and Pallawa letters. This theory also

3:55

has a rebuttal, guys, even though only

3:57

Brahmins can read the Vedas.

4:00

Hi, but there is a challenge how the

4:02

Brahmins abstain from crossing the

4:04

ocean to reach Indonesia, of course they

4:07

have to cross the ocean, guys.

4:11

Knight Theory This theory is supported by Fredrik

4:14

David, Boss Ramesh Chandra Majundar

4:17

and Jl Moens. According to this theory, it was the

4:20

Knights or nobles who

4:22

spread Hinduism and Buddhism in

4:24

Indonesia. The theory refers to

4:26

conflicts between kingdoms in India in

4:28

the past. The wars that occurred

4:31

between these kingdoms

4:32

resulted in the winning or

4:35

losing side. Finally, the defeated soldiers were

4:38

usually expelled from the region.

4:39

his kingdom and then they moved away

4:43

from the disputed territory the Knights group is

4:46

thought to have established new colonies

4:48

in Southeast Asia to Indonesia the

4:51

weakness of this theory is that so far

4:53

no expert has been able to find

4:55

evidence that shows the

4:57

expansion of Indian soldiers in the

5:00

Indonesian archipelago the theory of the Backflow

5:04

theory put forward by the boss and George

5:07

Coedes this theory states that

5:09

Indonesians were the ones who played an active role

5:11

in spreading Hinduism and Buddhism

5:13

Why is it that Indonesians

5:16

have an interest in coming to

5:18

India in order to study and

5:20

deepen their understanding of Hinduism and Buddhism

5:23

This is stated in the inscription which

5:26

states that King Balaputradewa

5:27

of Srivijaya has asked the king

5:31

in India to build a monastery as a

5:33

place to gain knowledge students from

5:36

Srivijaya after studying there are

5:39

Indonesians who returned to their

5:41

homeland and spread Hinduism

5:43

and Buddhism they consist of

5:46

educated people who have the spirit to

5:48

spread Buddhism

5:50

their arrival was welcomed by

5:52

local community leaders thus

5:54

the discussion regarding the process of entry and

5:56

development of Hinduism and Buddhism in

5:58

Indonesia

6:00

can be useful for all of us until

6:02

we meet in the next episode Finally,

6:05

greetings jasmerah never

6:08

leave history
