I think the concept of shadow play in Malaysia and Indonesia was introduced by Chinese traders & merchants, while the Indians introduced the Ramayana characters to the locals there (since that Malay & Indonesian civilisations began as Hindu)
@mjay22 no.. shadow play was invented in west asia, and exported to India, from that region shadow play was introduced into east-south asia, China, and so on...
