In 3000 years of our history, people from all over the world have come and invaded us, captured our lands, conquered our Alexander onwards. The Greeks, the Turks, the Moguls, the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Dutch, all of them came and looted us, took over what was ours. Yet we have not done this to any other nation. We have not conquered anyone.
We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them."

Pali island of Indonesia is even Hindu majority one. Cambodia has lot of Hindu temples and architectures due to Chola's invasion and spreading thier culture
