However, many Southeast Asian regions gave up on their Indic heritage subsequently, turning to the monotheistic Islamic civilisation instead.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Wang remarked on Southeast Asians\u2019 \u2018local genius\u2019 that enriches and empowers native cultures. He explained that being at the centre of Southeast Asia, Singapore\u2019s national identity was also moulded by these ancient civilisations, and the city-state has chosen \u2018an exceptional path\u2019 by committing itself to a plural-society nationhood.<\/p>\n<p>Read the article in <em>The Straits Times<\/em> here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/south-east-asia-largely-inspired-by-ancient-indic-civilisation-says-nus-historian\">https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/south-east-asia-largely-inspired-by-ancient-indic-civilisation-says-nus-historian<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In \u2018South-east Asia largely inspired by ancient Indic civilisation, says NUS historian\u2019 (The Straits Times, November 2022), Professor Wang Gungwu (NUS History, East Asian Institute) was featured for his lecture at the NUS Institute of Policy Studies\u2019 12th IPS-Nathan Lecture series, discussing the development of civilisation in the Southeast Asian region.
