    Amish Tripathi Retweeted J.K. Rowling

    Actually @jk_rowling the Naga mythology emerged from India. It travelled to Indonesia with the Indic/Hindu empires that emerged there in the early Common Era, with the influence of Indian traders and Rishis/Rishikas who travelled there. Nagin is a Sanskrit language word.https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1044907311058358273 …

    The Naga are snake-like mythical creatures of Indonesian mythology, hence the name ‘Nagini.’ They are sometimes depicted as winged, sometimes as half-human, half-snake. Indonesia comprises a few hundred ethnic groups, including Javanese, Chinese and Betawi. Have a lovely day 🐍

        I always thought Nagini means female snake in Hindi, hence the reason why it was chosen (like Shere Khan, Colonel Hathi etc in the Jungle Book) ...

        Indonesian national air carrier is called Garuda..right? Go search Hindu/ Indic mythology. Garuda was an giant bird which carried the Hindu God Vishnu on his back and was supposed to be the swiftest of transports. Ram is considered the seventh incarnation of Vishnu.

        Of course we all know that. We are well versed in Mahabarata Baratayuda RamaSinta stories and acknowledge our Hindu ancestors proudly. But which South Indian king colonised Java? I have never heard of that. Ram I am not familiar. Wisnu Kresna Brahma, I know. Thanks for replying.

        Oh my bad. Was replying to someone else. Sorry for the miscommunication. And no I am not saying I don't acknowledge Indian influence in our culture. Respect goes a long way. I was commenting on someone saying we were colonised by India. That I didnt know.

        Chola Dynasty under Rajendra Chola - I did invade and colonise a substantial part of South East Asia including Java, Sumatra, Suwarnbhoomi and probably that is where the Hindu influence came to these places from. Some reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajendra_Chola_I …

        Oh you mean Sriwijaya. That's at the island of Sumatera which is different with Java btw. The Naga myth is largely found at Java, clearly Hindu influence. But never acknowledge or record King Chola attack. Thx for the reference.

        I think we should stop calling our ancient Asian history as myth when there are geographical evidences of existence of places, ruins and literature corroborating We are still slave of West in our mind and call our rich history as myth till some western ‘researcher’ endorses it

        Don't I know that she won't. I see scholars in my field flocking to read about South Asia from shoddy books produced in the west. We are the subject, we are the market but they have the power to tell our stories :)
