Dear Mr. Chatterjee,
(e-mail: madhu.c@ians.in)
As a researcher of the Cambodian history, I was real amazed by your article "South Indians were the ancient money bags in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City", a comment on the work of whom you call veteran journalist, scholar and social activist Geetesh Sharma in his book Traces of Indian Culture in Vietnam.
It seems that you - and surely veteran journalist Sharman - do not know the several works of investigation from many well dedicated scholars in Cambodia and South East Asia.
For those who follow with attention the history, archaeology, culture and traditions of Cambodia, it is very clear that the Khmer civilization was established with contributions of what Chandley called the Indianisation (you can review this concept in a book of D. Rooney, for example, "Angkor", p. 21) that was given in the first centuries of the Christian era.
No Cambodianists will agree with such conclusion of Sharma, neither in Cambodia, not in Vietnam and less in France. Vietnam is completely absent from the what you and Sharma called the Ho Chi Minh City 2,000 years ago.
Even to refer in history to a place with its modern name is just out of scientist appreciations. It is like to say that the Philistines were living in Tel Aviv at the time of King David or that the first peoples of the America continent - something said 100, 000 years ago - were around New York. The name "Ho Chi Minh" was given after communist North Vietnam conquered Saigon (a most historical name?). They wanted to honor Ho Chi Minh, the national hero of the Vietnamese independence. Now well, talking about what is today known as Ho Chi Minh city, any well researcher will mention it as Prey Nokoh. Just that name will lead you to the real identity of the most primitive settlers: The Khmers.
I want to write a review about your article in my websites, but I want to wait for your answer first.
Thank you for your attention and welcome to Cambodia anytime to know a great and wonderful nation.
Yours sincerely,
Albeiro Rodas

Great rebuttal, Mr. Rodas. the many so-called Cambodian experts or South East Asian experts need a real history lesson. Vietnam and the Vietnamese people do not deserve any mention in this region of Ho Chi Minh City which a Khmer city was called Prey Nokor 2000 years ago and because they didn't exist in the areas at that time.
6:21 AM, that goes to prove that Ah Satt Youn(Vietnamese creature) is very bitter to see Cambodia exist. Satt Youn species will always rob and steal from others to make itsellf great. Never trust or believe that animals.
