Introduction to Hindu-Buddha Theories in Indonesia

The video tutorial by Ibu Kiki Cahyani discusses the introduction and spread of Hindu-Buddha religions in Indonesia through five theories: Brahmana, Kesatria, Waisya, Sudra, and Arus Balik. Each theory explains different groups responsible for the spread, such as Brahmana priests, Kesatria warriors, Waisya traders, Sudra migrants, and Indonesian scholars returning from India. The tutorial concludes with historical evidence supporting these theories, like the Nalanda inscription.
