Historically, we SE Asians got Islam from Shafii's from Arabia (Yemen, maybe Egypt and perhaps pre-Safavid dynasty Persia). If they hadn't gotten to us first, probably Indians would have brought Islam to us and we'd be Hanafi...

Wonder why the Hanafi Indians didn't do that though, their land is nearer and in more ancient times Indians brought Hinduism to us? I guess Muslim Indian kingdoms weren't big on sea travel?

Maybe because Allah wanted all the sunnah of the prophet (pbuh) to be practiced and kept alive. So if Hanafis had gone there, then a lot more people would have been hanafis but lets just consider Allah wanted all the 4 schools to be prevalent somewhere
