About two thousand years ago, people from India ventured out to South East Asia. May be earlier.
They were mainly from Tamilnaadu, Andra, Kalingga, and Bengal.
Many kingdoms were established.
Some of the royal dynsties were of South Indian origin.
There were Pandyas, Pallavas, Cholas, etc.
For example, the Khmer royal line was related to the Pallavas.
The later Malay kings claim descent from the grandson of Rajendra Chola.
When they settled in that huge land mass, they
named their towns after the towns in their land of origin.
Thus you find Madura in Java, Ayuththiya in Thailand and Takkola in Thailand. There were many others.
Takkola is now known as Ta Kua Pa. It is named after a town in Tamilnadu - Takkolam. Its near Kanchipuram.
