I hear that during British India rule - many people from SOUTH INDIA ( mostly from tamil nadu) were sent to INDONESIA for labour...They settled there..and Kartik is a common name in Tamilians...That's the story
NO indonesia already had their Asian ethnicity people before (but less population)
Their low population was reason to reason Indian ethnic people from south for labour in indonesia...I think about 30% of population is Indian ethinic there
@Playerkartik you might be mixing it with Malaysia a bit, Indonesia was barely colonized by the UK. The connection of India-Indonesia is way longer than european colonization. The Chola Empire (should be a Tamil Dynasty?) once ruled part of our islands (the richest and strongest in that period).
Although Buddhists and Hindus are minority now, Indian influences are still heavy with us.
Hmm...recieving a word directly from an Indonesian.
Right, I get it now It was Malaysia...remembered it.
I started forgeting history since I took Science(was made to take)
