Answer:

Bombay, Katmandu, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur

Step-by-step explanation:

The Hinduism is the dominant religion on the Indian subcontinent. This religion has a very long history, through which it experienced some changes, but has remained close to its basis. It is believed that this religion was formed as a mixture of the Dravidian beliefs and the invading Indo-Aryan people's beliefs. The Hinduism first started in the northern half of India, or more specifically around the Indus Valley, with Bombay being one of the first places to be influenced by it and to adopt it as its religion. Since the Indian influence was stretching up to the Himalayas, Katmandu too soon adopted this religion. Around the first century, through the trade and constant communication with Southeast Asia, the Indians managed to spread out the Hinduism there as well, first in Bangkok, and soon after in Kuala Lumpur as well.
