| Abstract: | As citizens of the new Asia become more assertive of their rights and aspirations, the region's leaders are shifting too. Follow the ups and downs in the Asiaweek. Since earliest times, Asia's leaders have claimed to be more than human. India's Rajputs believed they descended from the sun and the moon , while the Marathas traced their ancestry to the blueskinned god Krishna. In Cambodian legend, a Brahmin priest's marriage to a snake spirit naga produced the kingdom's first monarch, while a sea dragon and a mountain princess spawned Vietnam's mythical first rulers. |
