The formal and informal networks formed by these organizations have shown to ignore the language game of exclusivity and instead cooperated for decades on regional issues (Tadem 2018).

Multiple logics of identity-construction was at work where identities, loyalty and sense of belonging were not fixed to a certain locality but was often a result of the interaction between the circumstances of political geography and local patron-client relations (Chaudhuri 1990). Right from India to Africa, people were being enslaved and taken to the mother country. While under the Japanese occupation, Southeast Asia underwent major social and economic structural changes.
