Hinduism is the world's third-largest religion with over 1.1 billion followers, yet 95% of them are concentrated in India alone. As evidenced by Angkor Wat, Hinduism once spread throughout Southeast Asia along sea routes, but it failed to take root due to unorganized scriptures, the Kalapani taboo prohibiting crossing the sea, and a caste system lacking a "khan" to accept converts. However, it is precisely because of these characteristics that Hinduism did not disappear from India, despite 600 years of Islamic rule and 200 years of colonial rule. Timeline:
00:00 Angkor Wat Was a Hindu Temple
01:23 Southeast Asia, Where Hindu Kingdoms Lined Up
02:59 Reason 1: There Was No Form to Spread
04:41 Reason 2: Crossing the Sea Means Losing One's Status
06:23 Reason 3: There Is No Room for Converts
07:53 Reason 4: A Language the People Could Not Read
08:59 Reason 5: Islam Arrived via Contract, Not Sword
10:31 A Twist Where Weakness Became Armor
12:35 Hinduism Created Conversion Rituals
14:21 The Sea Crossed by Contract Workers
