Thank you for this very informative piece. I am a Sri Lankan researcher, and much of the lack of modern scholarship you mention here, is same in Sri Lanka as well. There is lots more to be studied about our shared ‘medieval past’ (that is if ‘medieval’ is the right terminology). Sri Lankan scholars also unfortunately look only at the island, instead of a pan-southern Asian history. Here too there are references to ‘navies’ in the chronicles and historians take them at face value with the modern concept of Navy, thereby obscuring the real situation.
