For those of you who would like to know some more about the historical background and influence, there are books like this.

Majumdar, R. C.: Suvarnadvipa – Hindu Colonies of the Far East. Vol. I-II. 1937. Cosmo Publications, reprint 2004. It is very interesting, and the author has also written a book about the Champa kingdom, but I don’t have this one yet.

Sewell, Robert: A Forgotten Empire (Vijayanagar). Published 1900, reprint 2007. This one I hope to get within a few days, so I have not read it yet.

One thing, which one must not forget is, that all authors on subjects like this, have used other books for reference, and a mistake made in one of the early books is likely to appear in one of the later books, so the texts should be analysed and compared to the knowledge the reader has, and with other sources.
