111 Government Policy and National Integration in Indonesia Leo 111 Government Policy and National Integration in Indonesia Leo Suryadinata Department of Political Science, National University of Sirtgapore Introduction ° Indonesia is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious state. There are a few dozen ethnic groups speaking between 250 and 300 Indonesian dialects.' Indonesia has a population of approximately 162 million, of which, the largest ethnic group is the Javanese (about 47% - 50%).% They are the dominating force in Indonesian bureaucracy, military and politics. The former president of Indonesia Sukarno and the present president of Indonesia Suharto are Javanese. Approximately 75 per cent of the decision making positions in the Indonesian military are in the hands of the Javanese.' The homeland of the Javanese is in Central and East Java. Sundanese also are found in Java (West Java) but only form 14.5 per cent of the whole population. Islands outside Java, often called the Outer Islands, are inhabited by ethnic minorities such as the Makassarese-Buginese (3.68%), Batak (2.4%), Balinese (1.88%), Achenese (1.4%) and others. They have specific areas with which they can be identified. Ethnic Chinese constitute 2.8 per cent of the Indonesia's population but are scattered all over the Indonesian archipelago.' Their majority live in urban areas. It should also be pointed out that Indonesia is an agrarian society. About 80 per cent of the population live in rural areas. Only about 20 per cent are urban dwellers.5 It is important to note that the island of Java, which constitute 7 per cent. of Indonesia's territory, has 65 per cent of its population. Java has been regarded as the consumer of most of the Indonesian revenues while the Outer Islands are the producers. Understandably, Indonesian politics is often related to two issues: Javanese domination and the uneven distribution of revenues between Java and the Outer Islands. It is also obvious that Java is the center of Indonesia's political activities. However, there is another issue in Indonesian politics: the religious dimension which is linked to ethnicity. Indonesia has five "officially recognized" religions: Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hindu-Bali (Hinduism) and Buddhism, of which Islam has the largest following.6 It is said 112 that approximately 90 per cent of the Indonesian population are Muslim. Nonetheless, Indonesian Muslims can be divided into the abangan (or Kejawen or Agarna,Jawa) and santra streams.' The former group is syncretic in its belief and is often termed "nominal Muslim". Their strong Hindu and Javanese elements often differentiate them from those who are more Islamic in their religious belief and practices. The abangan believe in Allah, but they also worship Hindu Gods/Goddesses such as Batara Kala (the god of death and time) and Dewi Sri (goddess of rice). They also believe in spirits and magic power, for instance, that in the Banyan tree there live spirits, while the kert;s (dagger) and gamelan (Javanese musical instrument) often posses supernatural powers. The abangan also perform selamatan, a kind of feast ritual involving offerings to the spirits and supernatural in order to achieve. a state of "calmness" and safety. Their frame of reference is the family, not the umat (Islamic community) which is the frame of reference of santri.e The santri are usually very rigid in terms of their beliefs, reject the pre-Islamic elements in Javanese society and desire to "purify" Javanese religion in order to fit their owr vision. Although the abangan and santri categories were originally applied to the Javanese, they can now be used to differentiate the Indonesian population in general: those who are nominal and those who are rigid Muslims. The existence of these abangan and santri cultures is the result of uneven penetration of Islam in the Indonesian archipelago. People who live in the coastal areas tend to be more Islamic while those in the interior tend to be more "indigenous". Santri also tend to engage in trading/commercial activities - while abangan and pnyayi (official class) are more interested in bureaucracy. The number of abangan appears to be much larger than santri and it is also well-known that most Indonesian generals are of abangan belief and less sympathetic to the santri's aspirations. The a bangan and santri outlooks are also reflected in their perception of the nature of the Indonesian state. While abangan tend to favour a secular state, santri have a tendency to favour the creation of an Islamic state - or at 9 least a state in which Islam plays a dominant role.' In addition to this abangan and santri division, Muslims in Indonesia are also divided along modern and traditional lines. Apart from Muslims, there are many Catholic Javanese and Manadonese, Protestant Bataks and Ambonese, and Hindu Balinese. Despite their minority status, the followers of these "minority religions" are often quite influential in Indonesia's society.'o These multi-ethnic and religious groups were brought together by the Dutch under the Dutch East Indies. Their colonial experiences brought them together in the nationalist movement which aimed at eradicating colonial rule and establishing a new nation-state along the ex-colonial boundaries. In other words, Indonesia was not a nation prior to independence, or even if the nationalist feeling existed, it was not strong. The nation-building period, i.e. .

  • S G Rip R Itual U Ses of Shadow P Lays in Java and Bali Ward Keeler
    R e l e a s e f r o m K a l a ' s G r ip R it u a l U ses o f S h a d o w P l a y s in J a v a a n d B a l i Ward Keeler Comparative work in anthropology sometimes appears to be as perilous as it is unfash­ ionable. That it is unfashionable is evident in the relative dearth of explicitly comparative studies published in anthropology over the past forty or so years. A few exceptions aside, the closest one usually comes is an edited volume in which each essay deals with a single society but an introductory essay by the editors hazards some broader comparative re­ marks. The reasons for such reticence seem clear: not only is it difficult for a single anthro­ pologist to acquire enough expertise in more than one society to make comparative remarks with any authority, it also goes against the grain of much contemporary anthropology to try to make data from diverse societies fit the analytic categories—any analytic categories— upon which comparison might be based. This fear of reductionism, which defines the peril in comparative work, is well-founded: the disrepute into which so much earlier anthropology has fallen stems in large part from the brazenly reductive manner in which cross-cultural comparisons were made. Even com- parativists as scrupulous and sophisticated as Boas and Levi-Strauss still seem to lose too much of what matters about the societies they study when they embark on comparisons of ritual, myth, or social organization.

  • The Sinophone Roots of Javanese Nini Towong
    Margaret Chan Singapore Management University The Sinophone Roots of Javanese Nini Towong This article proposes that Nini Towong, a Javanese game involving a pos- sessed doll, is an involution of fifth-century Chinese spirit-basket divination. The investigation is less concerned with originist theories than it is a discus- sion of the Chinese in Indonesia. The Chinese have been in Southeast Asia from at least as early as the Ming era, yet Chinese contributions to Indonesian culture is an understudied area. The problem begins with the asymmetrical privileging of Indic over Sinic influences in early European scholarship, a sit- uation which in turn reveals the prejudices that the Europeans brought to bear in their dealings with the Chinese of Southeast Asia in the seventeenth to nineteenth century. Europeans introduced the Chinese-Jew analogy to the region. Their disdain contributed to indigenous hostility toward the Chinese. Racialism is a sensitive topic but a reminder of past injustices provides a timely warning in this moment of tense world geopolitics. keywords: Nini Towong—jelangkung—spirit-basket divination— Sinophone—Sinophobia Asian Ethnology Volume 76, Number 1 • 2017, 95–115 © Nanzan University Anthropological Institute ini Towong is a Javanese rain ritual that involves a female effigy made with Na coconut-shell ladle head mounted upon a basket body.* The soul of a dead person possesses the doll when it self-animates to answer questions put to it by rapping, nodding, and pointing.

  • The Panji Story: from Version to Version *) by Triyono
    The Panji Story: From Version to Version *) by Triyono Bramantyo Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Yogyakarta, Indonesia Introduction A monument that was erected during the reign of King Dyah Balitung of Central Java dating from approximately 907 CE (Ministry of Education and Culture 1983-1984, 2) provides the oldest written record of a wayang performance, which was based on the Mahabharata epic tale. The Ramayana was also an important source in the development of the performing arts in the early civilization of Java. The history of the Ramayana dates back to approximately the 5th-4th century BCE. It is believed that the original version of the story is Valmiki’s Ramayana. Some cultural evidence suggests that the Ramayana predates the Mahabharata. Regardless of which tale appeared first, these two important Indian literary works have been adapted to many forms in Javanese performing arts and in those of the rest of Southeast Asia: the Javanese Ramayana, the Javanese Mahabharata (in various forms of puppetry), the Balinese Ramayana, the Phra Lak Phra Lam of Laos, the Hikayat Seri Rama of Malaysia, the Ramakien of Thailand, the Yama Zatdaw of Myanmar, etc. Alongside the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, there is a local Javanese cycle called the Story of Panji, which, according to C.C. Berg’s work Inleiding tot de Studie van het Oud-Javaansch (1928), was disseminated in the year of Pamalayu (1277 CE). Purbatjaraka, an expert on the Panji cycles, writes: “[…] the writing of the early Panji story was during the supremacy of the Majapahit Kingdom” (Purbatjaraka 1968, 404). The Story of Panji subsequently spread throughout the Southeast Asian region, including present-day Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos, and has been adapted to a variety of performing arts.

  • Ngahudang Carita Anu Baheula
    NGAHUDANG CARITA ANU BAHEULA (To Awaken An Ancient Story) An Introduction to the Stories of Pantun Sunda Andrew N. Weintraub Southeast Asia Paper No. 34 Center for Southeast Asian Studies School of Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Studies University of Hawaii at Manoa 1991 ACKNOWLEDGENffiNTS I am indebted to all the people who have helped me in my studies of pantun Sunda. I would like to mention a few individuals here who generously contributed their time and energy to the work contained in this volume. Yoseph Iskandar, Ajip Rosidi, Epih Wirahadikusumah and Amalia Firman collaborated closely with me on the translations of the Sundanese epics and helped me understand the stories within the context of Sundanese culture. Alice Dewey, Hardja Susilo and Ricardo D. Trimillos made valuable comments and suggestions on the writing of the synopses. Truong Buu Lam, Jim Collins, and Flo Lamoureux at the University of Hawaii Center for Southeast Asian Studies were very helpful in getting this volume to press. I am also grateful to the Institute of Culture and Communication at the East-West Center for supporting my research in West Java. Most importantly, I would like to dedicate this volume to the pantun bard, Ki Enjum, who willingly shared his time and knowledge with me. Ki Enjum begins the performance of every pantun Sunda with the invocatory song, "Rajah," which functions as an apology in the event that the performer makes a mistake during the performance. It seems appropriate that I begin this volume by quoting the opening lines from the song "Rajah".

  • The Ritual and Mythology of Ruwatan in Mojokerto
    Religió: Jurnal Studi Agama-agama The Ritual and Mythology of Ruwatan in Mojokerto Hidayatul Wahidah Lembaga Pengkajian Agama dan Masyarakat (LPAM), Surabaya [email protected] Abstrak Artikel ini menjelaskan tentang sejarah munculnya ritual ruwatan di Mojokerto, tujuan, bentuk ritual dan makna ruwatan bagi masyarakat lokal. Dengan menggunakan metode etnologi penulis menemukan bahwa munculnya ritual ruwatan di Mojokerto merupakan hasil dari proses magis yang berupa mimpi. Berawal dari mimpi salah satu satu pemuka desa yang bermimpi bertemu dengan pendahulu desa yang memberi simbol-simbol magis untuk menyuruh masyarakat setempat melakukan ritual ruwatan di area makamnya. Ritual tersebut diyakini oleh masyarakat setempat sebagai tameng atau senjata untuk menghindarkan masyarakat dari berbagai bahaya bencana. Bentuk ruwatan yang dilakukan mencakup dua model yaitu membersihkan makam serta memberi sesajen di waktu pagi dan menyelenggarakan wayang di sore dan malam hari. Secara umum, masyarakat lokal memiliki cara pandang bahwa ruwatan tersebut selain untuk menyelamatkan mereka dari mara bahaya, juga mengingatkan mereka pada leluhur serta merupakan suatu bentuk ungkapan terima kasih mereka kepadanya. Kesimpulan artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa ritual ruwatan desa merupakan representasi hormat masyarakat kepada leluhur. Selain itu, tujuan diadakannya ritual ini untuk membentuk keharmonisan di dalam masyarakat, karena masyarakat yang datang dari latar belakang yang berbeda datang dan berkumpul di ritual ini. Kata Kunci: Ruwatan, Mitos, Bencana. Volume 5, Nomor 2, September 2015 Introduction Indonesia is multicultural state that has many kinds of ethnics, cultures, languages, and traditions.

  • The Goddess Durga in the East-Javanese Period
    H a r ia n i Sa n t i k o Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta The Goddess Durga in the East-Javanese Period Abstract This article assesses the changing perceptions of the goddess Durga in Java in the tenth to the fifteenth centuries C.E. From an early perception of her as a beneficent goddess, slayer of the demon Mahisa and protector of welfare and fertility, we see later portrayals of her with a frightful countenance and a predilection for graveyards. This change is traced through the mythology to poorly understood Tantric practices that deteriorated into black magic and the coercion of the goddess’s power for evil purposes, causing her image in Java to become tarnished and turning her into an evil demon. Keywords: Durga— Mahisas"ura— Tantrism— Javanese mythology— antiquities Asian Folklore Studies, Volume 56,1997: 209—226 RCHAEOLOGICAL REMAINS in the form of statues of the goddess {bhatarl) Durga, Durga the destroyer of Mahisas'ura, are quite numer­ ous in Java. The oldest of these statues is estimated to date from around the eighth century C.E.,while the most recent is from about the fifteenth century. On the basis of their characteristics and of the area where they were found, these Durga MahisasuramardinI statues can be divided into two large groups: those from the Central Javanese era, dating to between the eighth century and the beginning of the tenth century, and those of the East Javanese period, which date between the middle of the tenth century and the fifteenth century C.E. The Central Javanese period is very rich in archaeological remains (especially from early Hindu-Buddhist times), though relatively lacking in written data.
