About the Book
India and Thailand both have age-old histories of ancient civilization and reciprocal socio political and cultural relations. The book deals with Indo-Thai relations through ages. It shows how as a meeting point of various cultural flows, the region of Thailand carried forward several Indian legacies from the ancient past to the present day. From the days of colonial encroachment till the age of globalization and connectivity, India-Thailand relations have several facets which are social, political and economic. The book also throws light on aspects of inter-regional interactions leading to emergence of constructive fall outs like diasprotic identities, colonial expansion and post-cold war links and contacts.
Preface
This book is a collection of essays written by historians and sociologists of India and Thailand. A Foreword to this book has been contributed by Her Rdyal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand these essays were read at the international seminar on Inter-Asian Facets of Indo-Thai History, Relations and Contacts, organized by the Asiatic Society, Kolkata on November 19-20, 2007. Study of the histories and societies of the countries of South-east Asia is a tradition of the Asiatic Society, and the said seminar was an affirmation of the tradition. Each of the twelve articles collected in this Volume is based on impeccable research, and the editorial introduction of Dr. Lipi Ghosh is characterized by excellence. The twelve essays present a scenario in which acculturation or assimilation of a number of cultural and anthropological patterns forms the basic point. I consider this book indispensable for students of the History of South-east Asia, and particularly the History of Indo-T
