I think you not good in history :ablobblewobble:
The regions didn't had any names by themselves like that, India and Indonesia are names given by the colonial powers to the regions.
India itself in Hindi is called 'Bharat'
Indonesia didn't had any native names as a whole, the 300 or so tribes living there only had names for their own regions.

So now lets dive in history :ablobcatangel:
Around 1600, The Portuguese and the Dutch were the first powers to colonize the coasts of India in the south. Dutch had the strongest naval force at that time (Brits were no where in comparison) and it easily captured colonies in the south western coast of India as well as the whole of Sri Lanka then gone on to capture the Islands nearby (That's Indonesia: Indian Islands). Now the Kingdom of Travancore in the South India got angered by the Dutchies and recaptured all of Dutch colonies heavily defeating the Dutch navy (Hence Dutch became the first and only European power to be defeated entirely by an Asian kingdom). This incident lowered the Dutch morale and shortly after the Dutch were again defeated in the Anglo-Dutch war (Hence Britain becoming the top naval power) and had to give all rights of colonizing of India to the Brits in the treaty that followed, with this lost the Dutch only remained till the present day Islands of Indonesia and Malaysia.

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to the fediverse, but really happy I finally got around to joining.

I'll describe myself as a husband & father first, but after that as a geek w/ 20y of software development behind me and at least 20 more in ahead. I live in snowy Helsinki.

I'm of course interested in FOSS, but also #degrowth , #philosophy , #climatecrisis , #smalltechnology but most importantly endlessly curious about the world and people in general. :)
