Answer:

"Its people were more of receptors rather than creator of their own histories."

Receptor means the people were much more of a receiver rather than a creator of their own history.

We can see it by our culture and politics to be exact here is the detailed elaboration about it.

The culture in Southeast Asia is very diverse: on mainland Southeast Asia, the culture is a mix of Burmese, Cambodian, Laotian, and Thai (Indian) and Vietnamese (Chinese) cultures. While in Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia the culture is a mix of indigenous Austronesian, Indian, Islamic, Western, and Chinese cultures. Also Brunei shows a strong influence from Arabia. Vietnam and Singapore show more Chinese influence in that Singapore, although being geographically a Southeast Asian nation, is home to a large Chinese majority and Vietnam was in China's sphere of influence for much of its history. Indian influence in Singapore is only evident through the Tamil migrants, which influenced, to some extent, the cuisine of Singapore. Throughout Vietnam's history, it has had no direct influence from India – only through contact with the Thai, Khmer and Cham peoples. Moreover, Vietnam is also categorized under the East Asian cultural sphere along with China, Korea, and Japan due to a large amount of Chinese influence embedded in their culture and lifestyle.

We can see that the diversity is present up until today and it is because we easily acquired cultures, political stands and viewpoints, and more of a lifestyle to each and every country who tend to influence us, we don't have our own branding, we don't have our own culture, we are mixed people with mixed point of views and that makes us more of a receptor rather than a creator.
