Indonesian nationalism
 | This article's lead section contains information that is not included elsewhere in the article. (September 2022) |
Indonesian nationalism is an ideology that arose during the
national motto Bhinneka Tunggal Ika which means "Unity in Diversity" in Old Javanese, in the country's foundational ideology of Pancasila, or in contemporary laws which guarantee ethnic and religious diversity.[4]
Background
Nationalism grew in Indonesia starting after the emergence of Islamic Unions. Budi Oetomo, which was formed earlier, was an "elite" organization so that it did not contribute to fostering nationalism throughout society. The Sarekat Islam (Islamic Union) made various efforts in fostering nationalism throughout the Dutch East Indies at that time.
History
The first nationalist movement in Indonesia was recorded back to the first half of the 20th century, during that time many
Dutch East Indies began to develop consciousness as one nation. Nationalism in Indonesia grew drastically after the establishment of the Dutch Ethical Policy
