If you found this, it means you were looking. If you were looking, it means you were lost. I was lost once, not sure what I was looking for. I believe, in your Era, you call it a voice. Well, now that I have found mine, nothing would stop me. Just like a wild animal, free, out of its cage. I know that out there, I might fall, I might get hurt. I know that out there, I might get bruises out of my own truth. However, I am willing to take that risk. In the name of freedom, I am willing to tell, what they don't want you to know. This is not a story. This is a Secret, I am willing to share. Since they have made so much effort to hide it, I am willing to make the same effort to unveil. This is the secret of hidden Anomaly. "Sun Stealer. Hidden Anomaly" is the first volume of the Sun Stealer's book series.

Sun Stealer. Hidden Anomaly

Pierre-Yves Manguin

This book takes stock of the results of some two decades of intensive archaeological research carried out on both sides of the Bay of Bengal, in combination with renewed approaches to textual sources and to art history. To improve our understanding of the trans-cultural process commonly referred to as Indianisation, it brings together specialists of both India and Southeast Asia, in a fertile inter-disciplinary confrontation. Most of the essays reappraise the millennium-long historiographic no-man's land during which exchanges between the two shores of the Bay of Bengal led, among other processes, to the Indianisation of those parts of the region that straddled the main routes of exchange. Some essays follow up these processes into better known "classical" times or even into modern times, showing that the localisation process of Indian themes has long remained at work, allowing local societies to produce their own social space and express their own ethos.
