The following is the Index of Arabs issued by the British Consulate in Batavia in 1919 and renewed periodically up till 1920. Currently, the original copy held by the Asia, Pacific and Africa Collections in the British Library (IOR/R/20/A/1409) is in an advanced state of decay. Hence, parts of the document are either missing or illegible. It is reproduced here in the hope that the contents of the document would not be lost to researchers. From 1915 to 1920, several typed memos with the names and short biographies of various Arab individuals based in the Malay Archipelago suspected of harbouring anti-British, pan- Islamic sentiments were continuously circulated amongst the Foreign Office in London and British colonial governments. The memos emanating from the British Consulate in Batavia were intended to warn other colonial officials in the British Empire about Arab Muslims based in the Netherlands Indies who were thought to have been influenced by German, Ottoman and later, Turkish propaganda during the First World War and its immediate aftermath. These memos culminated in the Index of Arabs which were circulated in its entirety amongst various agencies, including British Straits Settlements Government in Singapore, the British Consulate-General in Batavia as well as the Aden Protectorate. The Index was accompanied by a letter from British Consul-General in Batavia, W.N. Dunn, who supervised the creation of the Index. The Index features the names of 7 societies and 240 individuals arranged by alphabetical order. The aim of the British Consulate-General in Batavia in creating the Index was two-pronged: to identify pro-British Arabs who might be of service to colonial governments, as well as anti-British Arabs in order to deny them access to the ports of Singapore, British India and the Aden Protectorate.1 Although officially known as the ‘Index of Arabs,’ it was sometimes referred to as ‘Batavia List of Suspect Arabs,’ and more often as ‘List of Dangerous Arabs’ in British colonial correspondence. The main draft dated 27th September 1919 is reproduced here. Entries were continually added to the main list till the 1920 on slips of paper which were attached to this original document. At least three more separate short lists of Arabs supplemented the main Index.2 Each entry lists the full name of the individual, his current age, place of birth, current location, occupation and political allegiances with regards to Britain, Germany, Turkey and the two Sultans of Hadhramaut.3 Some entries also include the individual’s language capabilities, list of publications and travel history. Occasionally, a list of the individual’s coterie of friends and relations mentioned elsewhere in the Index was also noted.
The following notations are used:
1 In order to reach Hadhramaut, the country of origin of most of the Arabs named in the Index, one had to sail to the port of Aden first. 2 IOR R/20/A/1409, “Leading Kathiris who are pro-British and who are strongly discontented with the present Government of the Kathiris are the following Terim inhabitants,” undated; IOR R/20/A/1409, “Another list of Arabs,” undated; IOR R/20/A/1409, “The leading Kathiri opponents to the Kaiti,” undated. 3 Hadhrami politics has been explored in rich detail by Linda Boxberger.

Secret no. 117 27th September 1919
To the right Honourable A.J. Balfour, London
I have the honour to transmit herewith copy of an index of Arabs in the Netherlands East Indies. The Index is of course not exhaustive but contains the names of most anti-British Arabs, and a few friendly Arabs. It has been arranged in the form of a card index in alphabetical order and the sheets can be cut up according or if found more convenient can be kept in the present form. A few societies and publications are mentioned in the Index. It is suggested that the second copy of the Index sent might be of use to the War office, N15. I have the honour to be with the highest respect.
Sir, Your most obedient humble servant.
W.N. Dunn
