Natsir, Rebel Without A Pause
Mohammad Natsir (July 17, 1908-February 6, 1993) was a prominent Indonesian politician in the early independence of Indonesia.His life was not as colorful or dramatic as a stage play, but the example set by this person, who had a talent for combining words with deeds, was nothing less than remarkable
Tan Malaka
HE was the first important figure who conceived of and wrote about the Republic of Indonesia. Muhammad Yamin called him, “Father of the Republic of Indonesia.” Following the declaration of independence he mobilized the youth for a mass rally at the Ikada Square on September 19, 1945. Tan Malaka could be called Indonesia’s most mysterious independence figure. He lived on the run in 11 countries
Suharto, Farewell to the King
DURING his 32 years in power Suharto had plenty of opportunities to do good and bad—which he did, alternately. However, there was a process which seemed to go on forever under his administration, the length of which could only be outdone by Cuba’s Fidel Castro. This process was centralization, and even personalization, with figurehead Suharto as the nucleus of the entire nation.
AGUS SALIM
Truth and nationalism the sarekat Islam organization was the launching pad for Agus Salim’s political activities. He mobilized thousands of its members in the struggle against the dutch colonial government, while keeping a wary eye on another political for the rising communists.
Wiji Thukul
In 1996, poet and activist Wiji Thukul bid his wife goodbye and disappeared for good. Prior to Suharto’s step-down in 1998, arrests, abductions, detention and torture of activists increased. But while some were later freed, others like Thukul never came back. With so many victims still missing and no one held accountable for the atrocities, this special edition reminds us that the culture of impunity is alive and well. The case of Wiji Thukul illustrates just how far we still have to go to reach the ideal of a true democracy.
