| Summary/Abstract |
This article contrasts the ways in which the memories of the Khmer Rouge genocide have been constructed at different levels and at different periods since the 1980s. Various actors have been involved in this construction, such as the ruling Cambodian People's Party, the Khmer Rouge Court sponsored by the United Nations since 2007, and Cambodian villagers. This has led to numerous misunderstandings and discrepancies regarding the trial of the former Khmer Rouge leaders. The current research is based on ethnographic fieldwork undertaken in a village in the province of Pursat. It shows how the villagers have taken care of the human remains from the state-sponsored memorials and of the mass graves (that is to say, of the unknown bodies). The article shows how the Khmer popular religious system is instrumental in forging a memory of the dead of the Pol Pot regime and in healing social suffering.

| Summary/Abstract |
In southern Thailand, monasteries once served as focal points for different communal identities to negotiate shared space and, with it, shared identities. However, since martial law was declared in 2004, Muslims in southern Thailand do not frequent monasteries. Instead, soldiers and police occupy monastery buildings and protect the perimeters from attacks. In addition, there are now military monks, soldiers who are simultaneously ordained monks, who work to protect the monasteries. This article argues that the Thai State's militarisation of monasteries and the role of Buddhist monks fuel a religious dimension to the ongoing civil war in southern Thailand.

| Summary/Abstract |
Yunnan, a southwestern frontier province in China is located in mainland Southeast Asia and is inhabited by diverse cross-regional ethnic groups. This essay attempts to reveal the Bengal connections in historical Yunnan from the medieval age to the early modern period through a scrutiny of Chinese and certain non-Chinese sources. It first discusses the use of cowry currency in Yunnan and other areas around the Bay of Bengal, and then constructs historical routes linking the Bengali world and Yunnan, both by land and sea. Furthermore, the spread of Buddhism into Yunnan is highlighted to demonstrate Bengali cultural influence. The Bengal connections in Yunnan hence, shed some light on both historical Yunnan and the formation of Chinese frontiers.

| Summary/Abstract |
Organized religions often play a significant role in the political affairs of any country when political actors carefully employ them to pursue power. Buddhism is the major religion on the island of Sri Lanka, and often it becomes a powerful symbol for Sinhala-Buddhist politicians. This study examines the interaction between Buddhism and politics in Sri Lanka, and will attempt to examine the religious factors in Sri Lanka's ethnic conflict between the two nations; namely, Tamil and Sinhala. It will examine how the politicization of Buddhism helped Sinhala political elites and leaders in their quest for power, reinforcing religious and ethnic tensions, and finally will discuss some solutions to de-religionize the state structure to help Sri Lanka enjoy the fruits of modernization and democracy.

| Summary/Abstract |
The year 2017 became a watershed in the history of Buddhism as a religion, culture and a way of life. Myanmar’s military launched a campaign of violence against the Rohingya minority which according to UN experts amounted to a genocide that led to more than seven hundred thousand civilians fleeing to Bangladesh. This was the most concentrated flight of refugees since the Rwanda genocide of 1994.

| Summary/Abstract |
The phenomenon of soft power has garnered greater attention within the field of international relations, setting it apart from conventional hard power instruments, such as military might and economic power. In light of the ongoing evolution of the geopolitical environment, it is evident that governments are progressively using soft power as a means of exerting international influence in conjunction with hard power. India, where Buddhism originated, has been progressively using its soft power to acquire strategic benefits and cultivate closer relationships with surrounding nations and beyond.

| Summary/Abstract |
During 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a clarion call to the leaders of the world about India’s long cherished faith, trust and contributions to the value of Peace in general and international peace in particular. Highlighting India’s contributions towards global peace and harmony he told the world leaders, “India gave the world ‘Buddha’ and not ‘Yuddh’ (War)”.1 He further made it explicit that India’s gift to the world is Lord Buddha’s wisdom and message of peace instead of war. Precisely this is the reason that India’s voice against terrorism to alert the world about this evil, rings with seriousness and outrage.
