Comments by "K `" (@user-jt3dw6vv4x) on "Why India is investing so much in Singapore" video.
光宗耀祖啊 Sorry but you are talking about South and Southeast Asian cultures by googling and looking at images without actually understanding the history of the two regions. Anybody who is aware of Southeast Asian history will know that the Indians culturally influenced Southeast Asia (except for Vietnam) and that muay thai, lethwei, muay chaiya, pradal serey and so on are related to musti-yuddha which is from India. It feels weird having to explain this because literally everybody knows this. I've done more research since and there are claims that silat was influenced by both Indian and Chinese martial arts traditions.

光宗耀祖啊 The Indian martial arts influenced the formation of martial arts in the Indosphere (South and Southeast Asia), not China. For example, silat (which is native to Singapore and other Malay areas of Southeast Asia) is related to a Tamil martial art. The association of Bodhidharma with Shaolin is not fully verified so I don't know why they're talking about China. Also, this video is about Singapore so I don't know why they're talking about China.

@chillipanda1638 There is a native martial art in Singapore and it is not Chinese. It is called silat and is a traditional martial art of the indigenous Malay community of Singapore.

光宗耀祖啊 Well you are a Southeast Asian of Chinese descent which would explain your feelings. Well I don't agree with any of them over their claims that Chinese martial arts are of Indian origin. I don't know why they're even saying that.
