Mind bloging barriers

Migration is the natural instinct. Some traits must have been inherited by the humans from animals. Siberian cranes do come to India and so do many other birds and animals. Turtles come to the Orissa and Andaman Nicobar Islands for nesting. Great Sahara and Safari and Kalahari areas of Africa are famous for great migration of herds of wilder beasts, Zebra and Elephants etc. Thanx to Discovery and National Geographic channels. Through them only we are able to view those magnificent moments.
Now days scientist are working to find out the connection in the DNA of the humans. As it is often heard that the mother of all human races of world lies in the African land. And that too they claim due to scientific theory of the mitochondrial DNA. Thus they have started collecting DNA sample from all over the path they guessed. Such as in Iran then in in South India, Burma, Thailand and all through up to the Mangolia etc. then they found many persons related to the certain prints of DNA, known as finger prints. That indicates  we are related to each other and races also. There had been controversy that Australian Indigenous Ttribal people are related to some of the Indian tribal group. Similar is the story of the a lost tribe of the JEW living in the North East India. History has it that Zorastrians, the worshipers of the SUN or FIRE now known as Parsis were accommodated in the society of India many centuries ago.
So we in India are proud to be cosmopolitan in nature since centuries. The Hindu society had been secular, accommodating, flexible for ages.
My point here was to write some thing about the South East, and i am dribling towards north.

We in the south east ASIAN nations have a long common history. WHy And How?.
Since the times of the CHOLA who ruled on south India, the seaways of the Indian ocean have been under their control. The chola expeditions extended to the land of Indonesia, Malaysia, Combodia etc.
Due to that some of the lost traits are still found prevalent in those lands. The AnGkorWat temple is the famous example. The temples and rituals of the Indonesia are much similar to our hindu ways. The Names of people of Thailand & Srilanka etc sound similar to Indian.
Often I feel that the culture traits are similar. The moral teachings are the same. Be they follow the Budha's teachings or the Sri RAM all are the same. From Thailand, combodia, malaysia, Indonesia all the people are same. Then I often think that where is the Barrier, why people of these countries don't mingle like brothers. WHat is there which stops them. I think there are some vested interest which do not want this part of world to grow. This part of the world should be more open for their brothers and should come together to make bonds stronger so that we can live in peace and prosper with each others help.

History will tell that this region and its people have seen and gone through most worst and most horrible experiences and still these nations are marching ahead. That is the strong point.
to carry the life as it comes. thanx to Gautam Budha and Shri Ram and their teachings.
If people of this region unite together then there will be only one force to reckon with and that would be the South East council if we say so with members as countries of this region. Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Combodia etc........

It is my dream. lets see when comes true.
