In Indonesia, if you go miles away, you probably will find another languages, cultures, religious hot spots, etc. So its pretty normal for us being different and unique.
Why do I love Indonesia? The only country that makes "REPTILE" as national animals is Indonesia. I'm talking about 100% nature in Indonesia, not 1 city or 1 island. Indonesia has Mother Nature which has a very brutal power, because it can kill many people every year. You know? Mother Nature in this country is the mastermind behind major natural disasters that can hit many countries and cause many fatalities, not just 1 or 100 times, but more than that. One Example : Tsunami 2004 (Boxing Day) start from Indonesia (Aceh Sumatera) impact 20 countries (To Africa). When I was a teenager, at the high school level I always studied and read books about nature in a library located in Europe. I found a book that said : >Tambora A Killer From Indonesia. >Krakatoa The Day The World Exploded. Both of these books tell about nature and its brutality at the same time. Not only that, in the book it is explained that the incident is located in 1 country but in different regions. Was it the only tragedy that was written by the International? No, there is a lot of history of major natural disasters in Indonesia that are written internationally. Without many people realizing that nature in Indonesia is also very cruel, often raging, abnormal and brutal. Total natural disasters in Indonesia (8 Years Calculation) : >Year 2022 = 1.421 (Period Jan - Jun). >Year 2021 = 3,058 >Year 2020 = 2,925 >Year 2019 = 9,375 (Super insane). >Year 2018 = 3,397 >Year 2017 = 2,341 >Year 2016 = 2,342 >Year 2015 = 1,682 Total natural disasters for 8 years = 26.541 If you know all the volcanoes, rivers, lakes, caves, waterfalls, beaches, mountains, rice fields, forests, wastelands and others in Indonesia (Nature), the nature is very insane. For me personally, a visit to Indonesia is the most memorable for me because I have visited 51 natural tourist attractions. List of natural tourist attractions in Indonesia that I have visited. 1). Krakatoa. (My favorite volcanoes). 2). Tambora. 3). Aceh Museum Tsunami 2004. 4). Weh Island. 5). Lematang Lampung. 6). Ranau. 7). Anyer. 8). Ujung Kulon. 9). Lancang Island Jakarta. 10).

Indonesia is a complete and very diverse tour package in large quantities. Even on trains, buses, airplanes, and ships, you can see different views from one country. It's really crazy, like going to another country but still in the same country. Imagine in 1 city and even then there are many tourist attractions. What about Indonesia as a whole? Millions of tourist attractions. Therefore, many people misunderstand tourism in Indonesia because it is too much and varied. Then you will find something unique and strange, at least go on 30 different trips to tourist attractions in Indonesia and I am sure you will have a much more extraordinary experience. List of places I want to visit in 2024 in Indonesia : 1). Mature Kaladan. 2). Kikik Waterfall. 3). Haratai Loksado Waterfall. 4). Liang Tapah. 5). Kakaban Island. 6). Gitgit Waterfall. 7).

Honje Banten. (And the remaining 109 natural attractions I have not applied, because I am still looking for information on which tourist attractions I will visit in 2024). You can check the photos of the places I mentioned on Google, the natural attractions in Indonesia are crazy. Did you know if we look at the map of the Indonesia territory, it's like a person / Jinn who sleeps on his back. Sumatra : Feet. Kalimantan : Stomach. Jawa, Bali, Nusa Tenggara : Spine. Sulawesi : Bosom. Maluku : Neck. Papua : Head. Other small islands : Acne. Not only that, Indonesia has more than 500 volcanoes = Active, inactive and underwater. Nature in Indonesia is really insane very different class categories, there is a saying that says : (Indonesia is the throne Queen Mother Nature). There is even a study that has visited 400 tourist attractions in Indonesia and it is only 10% for him. From Sabang Sumatera to Merauke Papua (in 1 country) is expensive and long distance. It costs the same as you flying from Egypt to Dubai or Jakarta to South Korea or Spain to Belarus. Indonesia was originally not an archipelago but a mainland called SUNDALAND (Western side of Indonesia) and SAHULLAND (Eastern side of Indonesia). However, 70% of the land was sunk into the ocean. The territory of Indonesia is 60% sea, 30% (Forests, Volcanoes, Caves, Waterfalls, Rivers, Lakes, Mountains, Forests, Deserts, Cliffs and Canyons) and 10% Man-made. The total area of Indonesia is 8.5 million km² (Including land, sea and EEZ). The coastline of Indonesia is more than 98.000 km². In fact, in Indonesia, a lot tourist attractions (100% overall) is more than 4.800.000 - 6.100.000 (This is a total of the craziest nature in the world, that's why Indonesia has been named the MOST BEAUTIFUL NATURE IN THE WORLD AND ALSO THE MOST BRUTAL). Indonesia is HEAVEN and HELL which collide with each other simultaneously, has 2 different sides. Traveling to Indonesia is not just about a relaxing and exciting travel experience, it is much deeper and more than that. You can even feel disappointed, emotional, confused, sad, tired, give up, smile, laugh, afraid, goosebumps, satisfied and others at the same time. The number of victims of natural disasters in Indonesia in 1 year : >(2022) is 1.4 million people. >(2021) is 8.4 million people. >(2020) is 945 people. >(2019) is 3.721 people. >(2018) is 10.32 million people. >(2017) is 52.930 people. >(2016) is 6 million people. >(2015) is 22.773 people. Total victims of natural disasters in Indonesia for 7 years = 25.200.369 The slogan of Mother Earth in Indonesia: A very brutal power from a very beautiful form. Indonesia the most prominent is "MOTHER NATURE". The thinking of ordinary people will not reach when discussing Mother Nature, because Indonesia is labeled as a country that has the most brutal and risky nature in the world. This is no joke because the number of human deaths in Indonesia is very large every year, the category of nature in Indonesia is actually "VERY EVIL" because it can actually kill humans without mercy. Lots of documentation, films, articles, notes and history. Mother Earth in Indonesia has long been known as the "KILLER". Even natural disasters in Indonesia are divided into 3 groups, namely: 1). MACRO. (At this rate if it happened, then the deaths would be predicted to be more than 100.000 - 10.000.000 may impact other countries). 2). MEZZO. 3). MICRO. Unbeknownst to ordinary people, know that nature in each country is different (Nothing is the same). Therefore, many experts always remind "Be careful when going to natural attractions in Indonesia". Fun Facts : >Dutch band Within Temptation made the title song "Mother Earth" which describes nature in Indonesia. Even Sharon Den Adel, vocalist of Within Temptation, has lived in Bali Indonesia since childhood. >Groove Coverage from Germany is a music group that uses the name "INDONESIA" as the title track and is included in the album "21 Century". This song is officially made. If no one knows Groove Coverage, then you can search for it by typing "GOD IS A GIRL" you will find out who sings the song is a woman. This group was very popular in 2000 - 2013 in many countries. But why did he choose the name "INDONESIA" as a song? Without realizing it, Groove Coverage is the first international music group to make the name "INDONESIA" as a song (2006). >Maria Amanda/Sabrina Nielsen, a Gothic Europe model (Denmark), has visited several places in Indonesia (Bali and Yogyakarta) and wrote an extraordinary assessment on Instagram. >The name Indonesia is taken from a word in Ancient Greek and is related to the history of Ancient Greek mythology. The Indonesian name is referred to as "GAIA". >Celine Dion from Canada has a song inspired by the music "Keroncong Indonesia" entitled "To Love You More" and in 2018 came to Indonesia. >A rock band called Fransoa from France made a song called "Aku Masih Lapar" in Indonesian languages, the lyrics mention the names of Indonesian food. >The European Gothic genre band "Xandria" from Germany made a video in Indonesia in 2015. >The title songs namely "Straitjackets And Wards" and "Eternal Waking" became the soundtrack of a horror game from Indonesia called "Pulang Insanity". >And others.
@@peggyputri6980 Yes, because there are too many things to explore which I described earlier. It's too crazy to talk about the whole nature in Indonesia, even if I compare it with other countries. Nature in Indonesia is very colossal, because in 1 place or in 1 city only (For example, in Jakarta it has more than 300 tourist attractions. That's already that many in Jakarta, let alone all over Indonesia?). So crazy.
13:31 Yes, we need to choose one of those six religion and it’s stated in our identity card (Kartu Tanda Penduduk or KTP in bahasa Indonesia). Perhaps, some people think it violates human rights, but the first point of our national principle, Pancasila said “Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa” which means “Belief in the Almighty God”. So yeah, we need to do that. Thanks for ur reaction btw!
Somebody told me that one of the reason why religion included in identity is to tell people (who found you dead) how to buried your body in your religion’s way.
It also has something to do with the government's policy to wipe out communism ideology. Up until today, there's still a huge stereotype among Indonesians that people who do not have a religion is a communist. That's why all citizens are required choose one religion. Of course there are people who only pick a religion on paper to avoid getting into trouble, or simply because what they believe is not on the list.
Oh yes, most Indonesian are trilingual, even if they don't speak English (because they are just bad at it), if they have parents from different cultures, or same culture parents but the children is born and/or raised is another culture area, then that child would automatically spoke any languages their parents speak and what language their neighbors and school friends speak. So Indonesian childrens in that case can speak 2 or 3 local language, 4 if you add bahasa indonesia, 5 if you know English, 6 if you are Muslim (because we learn Arabic to read the Quran), and you can still learn more like French, German, Russian, Italian, Korean, Chinese or Japanese if you want.
@@ecunoq144 maybe in his place. I was born in aceh.i can speak a litlle aceh.my mom java.i can speak java.my dad tamiang tribe.i can speak a little tamiang.my other family sunda.i can speak a little (really a little) sunda. And yes,arab cause we read quran and know a little.my brother now live in japan,i can speak a little (mostly undestand) japan.and english.
The Dutch colonized Indonesia! Which is why chicken satay and peanut sauce are really popular in the Netherlands today 😂 I hear Dutch people like to dip fries in peanut sauce too
100% agree that the politics in Indonesia is a mess and outside Indonesia is a non-block country so we can be friend with America and at the same time we also can be friend with China. Really rare
Opened information era around since 2010 within mostly uneducated people trigger sell and buy voting. This situation is commond secret in every election. I hope it's better next in 2024.
If You look at the Indonesian national emblem carefully, you can find this statement "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" in the lower side of the Garuda bird. It means "unity in diversity". Yes Indonesia consist of hundreds of tribes and have hundreds of native language, but we are proud to be one nation, with one motherland, and we use Indonesian language as our lingua franca. I'm Javanese btw, I grew up in Bali and West Java. And this makes me able to speak in more than 4 languages. I can speak Javanese (my mother tongue), Indonesian, English, lil bit of Balinese, and Sundanese (West Java). ps: no devout Muslims would eat pork, but the sale of pork is not prohibited in Indonesia (Indonesian is secular country btw). You can easily find pork based traditional dishes in areas where there is significant numbers of non Muslims. For instance in Bali where the population is dominantly Hindu, the consumption of pork is quite common among non Muslims. Bali is also famous for its "suckling pig/babi guling" and "pork ribs" dishes. I never tried them though, being a muslim
@@muhamadfahmihabibie Wkwk, typo bro, kurang huruf n. In Javanese: wis kuralat yo, in Balinese: suba tiang ralat nggih, in Sundanese: geus aing ralat nya
numpang nambah: indonesia city who really looks similar to bali is manado, north sulawesi. It’s because manado has many chinese-indonesia people who really like to eat bat(same with some chinese people from china who eat bat). about culinary, manado have klappertart which’s they use rum to make it stronger because some manado people still use to hunt boar from nearby mountain
Well,Indonesia is a special one,since it's not secular nor religion based country. Indonesian law influenced by local culture,religion and western law. It's not a secular country since religion play an important thing to indonesian system,laws and norms.
Perhaps it feels strange for foreigners that we included religion in our ID cards. So let me explain, that every religion has different sacral burial ceremonies and rituals. So just in case, somebody died in an accident, the authorities could honor the diseased through their religious rituals. In this modern era, many Muslims have Christian names, like me while many non-Muslims have Muslim names, like Ahmad, Rizki, etc. If you ask how do we keep our union, well actually we do have racism between tribes, but mostly we can accept it, and even sometimes we make a joke of it.
And everyone has Hindu / Indian names. Wisnu, Arya, Aditya, Gatot, Rhasma, Laras, etc. You never know how to appropriately bury them, they could be Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist.
many european excited went to Indonesia, and they told if you explore indonesia from the east to the west its like go to many different countries because of many culture and language in there
No, we don't eat pork and No muslim in the world eat pork. it's good that you asked that here otherwise it would have been awkward :D. Edit : It seems many people say they're a muslim and they ate pork. Here's my answer. If you're doing the things that God forbid in the Quran then you no longer a Muslim. How's that hard to understand.
Actually, even countries in middle east have approved Indonesia as the country with the most halal food eaters in the world, and they sometimes use Indonesia's halal checking method too. You will rarely see any packaged food/beverage without halal logo in Indonesia. The dude might think we eat pork just because he only know that we are in SEA.
@@JupiterVortex yes of course but he's talking about what the guy said about Muslim in Indonesia who can eat pork which is not true. It's still available for other believers tho.
10:51 there are about 1340 ethnic/sub-ethnic groups and about 800's languages and dialects 11:55 British colonization is between 1811-1813. the others were Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese. 13:29 yes. so if someone is dead, he/she may being treated properly according to his/her religion
Spain actually never colonized Indonesia. They only competed with the Portuguese in the spice trade by cooperating with the sultanates of Ternate and Tidore, which also competed for power in eastern Indonesia (Ternate - Portuguese) vs. (Tidore - Spain)
Hey, if u notice. Indonesia has a very long distance. If u count the sea, from Aceh (the western part of indonesia) to Papua (the eastern part of indonesia) its like flying from Ireland to Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan. Just imagine how diverse we are.... i'm still get goosebumps when i think about our founding father get these island to unite to become a one country.
@@dogsing1789 Soekarno et al. still had to convince sultanates & kingdoms occupied by the Dutch to join this new country instead of declaring their own independence. Some of them were even sovereign countries like Yogyakarta, Surakarta & Buton sultanate. After Indonesian independence, they did all they can to keep the country from falling apart. The Dutch launched military offensives that reduce Indonesia to significantly smaller area and ended with our leaders captured. Though with the combination of international pressure, guerilla warfare, negotiations & payment of Dutch government debt we managed to get the transfer of sovereignty.
"Complicated" yea that's the word! We have so many different cultures, languages and ethnics to say the least. Take your time to learn about Indonesia~ I salute you teacher!
I'm a proud Indonesian, and I'll try to answer your questions: 1. A dispute about the name: We have always called it Indonesian islands, of course, since they're within Indonesian boundaries. I don't know who calls it Malay islands, but I'm not aware of any dispute. 2. Disputes over some islands: Yes. But only over several islands, not even 10% as many as the difference in the amount of islands according to the three different sources. I think the differences are more becuse of their definiton of what can be called 'an island'. 3. Pura Ulun Danau (lake) Bratan [poor-ah uloon dah-know brah-tahn] 4. The Dutch, but you found out a bit later, didn't you ☺️ It was mention actually at 3:52 in the video 5. Wrong. Most Muslim in Indonesia do NOT eat pork. Perhaps you saw some videos where some did, or even opened a restaurant selling pork. But most Indonesian Muslims adheres to Islamic rules, so they don't eat pork. In fact, most people (the baby boomers and the gen X people) consider it disgusting, and avoid just the look of it. It is by no means allowed in Islam, everywhere in the world. But Indonesian government is not based on sharia, so there's no law enforcement about that, and people can choose whether they want to adhere or not to the sharia, even though they are registered as Muslims. 6. No, you got it correct, religion is stated in our ID card or passport or any other official papers. In our constitution, it is said that we are a religious country, and the believe of One God is number one in our five basic principles. So everyone must have a religion. But we can choose whichever religion we like, and we're also allowed to change anytime. 7. About the gathering for the dead. We do it in order to pray together for the dead, since we all believe in the life after death, and we want to make it easy for them by praying FOR them, not to them. And we bury the dead right away after they die, asap, only hours later or one night tops. We don't leave them out for days. Different concept. 8. True, Indonesia is a 'conglomerate' of many ethnic groups, many languages, many islands, but we were brought together by the same fate, that we were colonialized, or constantly attacked, by the Dutch. Our fore fathers realized that our localized effort was always futile; the Dutch played us one against another. So they made a pledge to stay together. As stated in the video, they chose to use the Malay language, already spoken in many areas in Sumatra and Borneo, as a unifying language. Not only because Malay is more neutral and Javanese is difficult, but the Javanese language has hierarchy, by which the youth/low caste have to speak a more polite language to the seniors/higher caste, so even the Javanese forefathers voted against it. We can get along by holding on to our motto: Unity in Diversity. So we look at our differences as a variety of gems held together in a beautiful brooch, and we're proud of it.
Yes, commonly, an Indonesian communicate with at least 2 languages on daily life. We learned other foreign languages too, mostly English. We also learn Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, French, Germany, Arabian, Spanish, Korean, etc. Our old generation (grand parents and parents) most likely speak/understand Dutch as well. 10:38 - No. We, Indonesian muslims, don't eat pork. Well, at least most of us don't, since it's forbidden by sharia law. But, sure, you might find some Indonesian Muslims who eat pork, be it accidentally or deliberately. Why? It's safe to say, maybe they're only born from Muslim family but not so much into practicing Islamic rules. 18:21 - Since our country's motto is "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" (Sanskrit, means unity in diversity) the government makes sure the motto literally applied in our daily lives, by inserting the curriculum related to it into our entire education system since we're on kindergarten level. The result, most (if not all) of Indonesian people tolerate everything, respect everyone, and welcomed differences. Personally, I appreciate your interest in learning more about our country. Trust me, you will fall in love with Indonesia. 🤗
every moslems in the world prohibited to eat pork .. indonesian moslems also.. , thanks for reacting indonesian geography. indonesia is very diverse in many things. diverse in landscape , diverse in animals species , diverse in people , diverse in culture .. our national motto is Unity in Diversity. we have everythings ... but the rest part of the world still didnt know what is "Indonesia" ... i called it Invisible country . just like wakanda in marvel universe 😝😝
The English language didn't come from colonization era, it came with globalization mainly. No, Muslims are still not allowed to eat pork. Indonesia was mainly colonized by the dutch for about 350 years, followed by Japan for about 3.5 years, then independence in 1945. Though, Dutch tried to come back to Indonesia and didn't recognize our independence until 1949. That's why some people say Indonesian independence is in 1949. It's actually declared in 1945 after Japan lost the war. Our national motto is unity in diversity. So, yeah. I guess we can live in harmony because of our long history? Cmiiw 😅
Not exactly 350 years. Coz for example: Aceh was just concuered in 1904. Kingdom of Bali was still maintained foreign relations until the beginning of 20 century. Some kingdoms in Sumatra & Sulawesi were still independent in 19 century. Even some sultanate in Kalimantan (& Sumatra) were still maintained their independence until our proclamation of independence in 1945
TLDR: 1. Mostly different province, we have different ethnicity (different language and culture). 2. But in my home, i use my local language (Bahasa Sunda). 3. Mostly people in their home using local language (Java, Sunda, Batak, Dayak, Papuan, Malay etc), but if talk with other ethnicity we use Indonesia language, thats how we unite.
nahh most of people in cities use indonesian too nowadays, atleast in sumatera, that's why alot of us don't even know how to speak our local languages anymore, no one teaches us, beside the local churches that still use local languages in worships/catechisms.
11:59 actually, during the world war time, many indonesian people can speak dutch language. and indonesian technical or engineering university uses many dutch languages. during japan colonization, the japanese kinda restrict usage of dutch languages (CMIIW) and then teach indonesian japanese language so there was also many people who can speak japanese then. after independence. knowing english is world language. indonesian people start to learn english from elementary school (my case) indonesian elementary school until high school usually have minimum 3 languages classes: -Bahasa indonesia (indonesian language) -Bahasa inggeris (english) -Bahasa Daerah (local language, if you are in west java it is sundanese, if you are in east java then it is javanese, and it depends on each local languages) and for extra. during high school there is option to learn another languages such as japanese, arabic, and mandarin and of course for muslim, learning to read arabic hijaiya is a must. aaand. if sundanese person go to east java for college. they usually can speak javanese also aaaand sundanese and javanese language is very very different in vocabulary. aaaand.. sundanese or other languages also have their unique local version. it is like 1 different language every 100km so it is important for us to use Bahasa Indonesia to unite us
That's remind me my elementary school didnt have local language class untill i was in 6th year. Because im from Banten, part of us speak sundanese the rest speak javanese or other local language so yeah when our school decide to make the sundanese a local language lesson for us, we be like, "what? this isnt our language."
After Indonesia became independent, about 350,000 people emigrated to the Netherlands around 1949. The Indonesian diaspora has a lot of influence on Dutch culture and cuisine. The third and fourth generations have now almost assimilated, making them less noticeable in Dutch society. In 1975 Suriname became independent and about 300,000 people emigrated to the Netherlands. Among these people were also the Javanese diaspora. Javanese, Indians and Chinese were recruited as indentured servants in the 19th century because slavery was abolished. There is currently a large Indonesian and Javanese diaspora living in the Netherlands. In addition, the Netherlands is the 4th largest investor in Indonesia, after China, Japan and Singapore. Many Indonesians also study at Dutch universities. Did you know that Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands actually sell Indonesian dishes with a Chinese twist. Indonesian food was already known around the 1930s, when the Chinese opened restaurants they first sold Chinese, but it turned out not to sell well. Since then, the Chinese have been cooking Indonesian dishes adapted to the Dutch. Since then, it has also been considered Dutch cuisine. The Indonesian language has 10,000 Dutch loanwords. But the Dutch language also has many Malay/Indonesian loanwords.
Add to those Indonesians that came to NL those Dutch people that came back from Indonesia after WW2/independence. They may not look Indonesian, and they may not be Indonesian but they are/were a very distinct cultural group
Our unity motto is " bersatu kita teguh, bercerai kita runtuh " means, together we strong, divided we collapse or fail. And so it reflect in our national motto..bhineka tunggal ika means we consist of many diversity groups ( race, tribe, language of our mother tongue) but we are one (tunggal ika ). Are you really Teacher ? You can check our Indonesia from Wikipedia..but of course, if u have questions I d love to respond it. Peace bro
Muslims in Indonesia obviously don't eat pork either. However, the sale of food containing pork is not prohibited. Muslims independently must pay attention to the presence of halal labels in restaurants or on food packaging.
The video of "Indonesia" Geography has been quite some time uploaded.. I think the information & some photos need to be updated.. bcause the development has progressed a lot for last couple years.. there are some good videos of Indonesian geography & history
we don't have a unifying culture actually! Let me clarify on that: it is true that most stick with their cultures, but wherever you're raised, you will embrace the community's culture with you! (i've seen people from other regions raised in jakarta and embrace the culture of their own and the jakartans culture,) and what unifies us is mostly social media, our one language and even sometimes food! food is the most important, we share a lot of them with other cultures inside Indonesia as well. They are generally accepting, and different beliefs doesn't mean we can't live in harmony. even as a minority(non-moslem and not really an indigenous descent), i cant vouch for this kindness and acceptance of people :D
right! i forgot about something! we also sing other culture's songs as well, and they are taught as national songs at school, generally taught from an early age, and every kinda like flag ceremony(at school usually), we sing the school anthem(for private schools usually), the national anthem and one song from the long list of national songs! hope that adds more to your knowledge hehe :D
You must have often heard of the Rafflesia Arnoldi flower. This flower was first discovered in 1818 in the tropical forest of Sumatra by a guide who worked for Dr. Joseph Arnold who was following the expedition of Thomas Stamford Raffles, so this plant was named according to the history of its discoverer, namely the merger of Sir Raffles and Dr. Arnold, and name it Rafflesia Arnoldi
1. Nope Kalle, Indonesian muslims don't eat pork. There are even recent incident when people try to make a certain traditional dish from West Sumatra (beef rendang) with pork, and he ended up apologizing for it. 2. The Dutch government ruled Indonesia for 350 years first through the Dutch East Indies Company and then through colonial government. Fun fact, Jakarta and Gothenburg both designed by the Dutch around the same era. They have the same design pattern and layout if I remembered correctly. 3. There's no such things as Indonesian culture because it is not yet a nation state (although it claims to be). There are only a set of attributes that define Indonesian identity such as, Indonesian language, Indonesian motherland and Indonesian nation in which the last two are made up politically constructed ideas (see The Youth Pledge of 1928). So a lot of elements in the the Indonesian identity as a whole are new and we are not there yet, and we still go back and forth arguing about the fundamentals (See, this is the real challenge of multiculturalism). Indonesia is not a homogenous nation like Sweden that has historically one ethnic, one language, one religion nation. Each tribes has their own customs, tradition and religion which throughout history has been exploited by politicians for identity politics that is responsible for numbers of riots and genocides in the country. Meanwhile all influential media, economy and politics are based in Jakarta, and the ruling elites basically using that to impose the "Indonesian identity" to replace the regional, tribal, native identity.
I studied in the city of Padang, Indonesia for 3 years, in one year I experienced 4 to 5 earthquakes. The first time I experienced an earthquake at 1 pm, it really traumatized me. After the second year began to get used to the earthquake. The hardest thing I've ever felt, when I came home from college very tired and fell asleep, I woke up because of the earthquake, and I had to force myself to get up and stand, otherwise I might die buried under collapsed buildings. The duration of the earthquake was more than 3 minutes. Fortunately I have finished my studies in Padang, I returned to my hometown which has never experienced an earthquake
I experienced one in Jogja 27 May 2006 (magnitude of 6.4 depth 15 Km), it was the most terrifying sound of trembled earth that i ever heard. The tremor when everything is shaking is really a scary sound.
@12 :24 Ok this is incorrect. Bahasa Indonesia is based on Bahasa Melayu or Malay Language and the Malay Language is indigenous to the Riau Islands, parts of Sumatra and Kalimantan. So Bahasa Indonesia is indigenous to Indonesia. And there is high intelligibility between Bahasa Indonesia and Malay. Most Malay speakers especially those exposed to Bahasa Indonesia through drama series, movies, religious programs would not have any issue understanding Indonesia and most Indonesians would not struggle that much understanding standard Malay. I would say mutual intelligibility is close to 99 percent. Source - I'm a Malay speaker from Singapore and I can understand Indonesian almost 100 percent of the time. Also, it makes sense to have Bahasa Indonesia / Malay as the official language of Indonesia since various versions of Malay have been spoken throughout the archipelago for centuries such as Ambon Malay, Kupang Malay, Papua Malay, Makassar Malay and Manado Malay.
Yes, I can confirm this! I'm from the province of Riau Islands. We have a very strong Malay cultures too just like our neighbors in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, although it is not usually represented well enough in Indonesian national media. Traditionally we were part of the Malay Kingdom (sorry I forgot the name, is it kesultanan melaka or something cmiiw) but we were under the Dutch hence why we are part of Indonesia now even though geographically it looks like we belong to Malaysia. We shared a lot of dishes like nasi lemak, lemang, buah melaka, laksa, tempoyak, any typical malay dishes you could think of, we usually have it here. We wear baju kurung at work/school on Fridays and for events like weddings and holidays. We learn to write Jawi/Arab Melayu at school. Funny thing is, when we go to Java to study, most of the people here would think we were Malaysians because our Bahasa Indonesia have a hint of Malay accent.
Bahasa Indonesia is arguably the easiest language to learn. However there are over 300 traditional languages actively used by the people, each of them are uniquely different. 34 provinces with 300 languages, that roughly makes 8 languages for each province.
If Bahasa Indonesia is easy to learn then why is it the hardest subject in school, literally out of all the subjects during my UAS exam my Bahasa Indonesia score is the lowest lmao 😭 even lower than my english and sunda
@@somestuff7468 In my opinion, that's because what we learn in Indonesian uses standard language and is more like literature. Meanwhile, the Indonesian language that we use every day is not standard and is often mixed with regional languages. While English, we don't study that deep at school. For traditional languages, this is probably because they are used daily. Also, for people who rarely use traditional languages in everyday life, it is also a little difficult to get high scores. Correct me if i'm wrong about it. But it's from my experience and from see people around me.
Hey man, Indonesian here and let me explain about colonization of Indonesia, first Portuguese colonized us around 1600s mainly on Mollucas Island for a spices I think, then followed by British, Spanish and last important colonizer is of course a Dutch (or Holland). Yeah it's true British ruled us for few years because of Dutch were conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte back in 1800s with Dutch oversea territories handed over to British for a while (including another Dutch big colony in South Africa.) Finally we were colonized or invaded I guess by our fellow asian, Empires of Japan in 1942-1945. Many of Indonesian died during that period of time, because of famine and conscription by Japanese. I am typing this based on knowledge of my memories so bear in mind with mistakes that I made along the way. Cheers Adding my personal experience is I considered myself as Trilingual, not because my native language but because mainly I am speaking Indonesian, English and still learning German for my internship program to Germany
fact: before portuguese colonization, first country who try to cooperate indonesia(nusantara) and have love-hate connection is china. my history teacher from high school teach me about this because it isn’t mention in school books
@@imrise5136 Long before Mongol Chinese invasion failed in Java, parts of Sumatra under Srivijaya rule was once fall and became part of Chola Empire, which is now India. Cooperation, invasions, expansions, they all happened everywhere in the world history, but colonization takes it to another level. When the European colonials settled in Nusantara (South-east Asia Archipelago) they tend to look down the locals, they grouped people by race, saying that they are more morally civilized. Then the people of Nusantara rebelled, fought to be free and independent, resulting what we now called Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines, Singapore, etc.
I, as an Indonesian, am also confused about how many different tribes can become one country, namely Indonesia. Maybe it all started from the formation of the expansion of power and the seizure of territory by the Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms and Islam a thousands years ago, so the effects of several power struggles between these religious kingdoms made Indonesia have the same goal when it reached the 1600s, namely when it was colonized by the Dutch, namely wanting to be freed from the shackles of European colonialists.
It's great that you've started to pause the video whenever you want to comment on something. As jarring as it can be, it's still better than speaking over the video as you did previously and missing things or yourself not being understandable.
12:48Why Indonesia languages same in dutch languages because,indonesia was colonized by the Dutch for 350 years, if you count backwards from 1945, it means that we were colonized by the Dutch from 1595. Meanwhile, in 1596 Cornelis de Houtman landed for the first time in Banten,and in historical records de Houtman is the Dutchman who first set foot in the archipelago/Indonesia,and that why Indonesia languages same as Dutch languages.And you ask me why i know this because i'm Indonesian people
By the "Indonesian muslims eat pork" some, yes. But most of the time there's always a "halal" label on every restaurant that doesnt serve haraam (forbidden) foods. Therefore, pork is still not halal, but some people that isnt religious may eat it PS: and yes, the british did colonize indonesia. i mean, they colonized pretty much everyone PS2 : Some say they respect eachother because they give eachothers holidays. Kinda funny but since there's 6 recognized religions here, most special days of each religion is considered holiday.
One of the two topics I had to study for my final history exam in high school was The Dutch in Indonesia. Always found that connection interesting. Even our literature has a fair share of Indonesian related content.
Surprisingly, the Brits just stayed in Indonesia only for few years. Apparently they were happy to have Malaysia and Singapore. The Dutch enjoyed spices from the sources (Molluca, Java, and Sumatra) for hundreds of years.
As a result of immense diversity, most individuals in Indonesia has developed a great amount of social sensitivity and tolerance. You can tell by the way Indonesian interacts. Do not mistakenly judge that Indonesians are laid back and always put smiley face, but actually these behaviours means Indonesians giving signs of openness and non-aggressiveness and always willing to avoid potential conflicts and negotiate to reach acceptable middle ground. Average indonesian has never seen or experience complete culture of the whole country in one lifetime. It is good that in terms of media, internet, and transportation infrastructures Indonesia has developed pretty impressive knowing its size as island nations. Religion fanatics are not welcome in Indonesia even though there are many individuals in politics can fall within that category. Yet untill now the settlement of such disputes always prefer non-violance approaches.
Culturally speaking, Indonesia is similar to Brazil, in a sense that the government encourage people to adopt a national culture that doesn’t necessarily represent the ethnic lines, hence uniting Indonesian under one banner, being Indonesian. Like in Brazil, people don’t put importance of being “German-Brazillian” or “Portuguese-Brazillian”, everyone is just Brazillian and this created Unity in Diversity. Also in regards of religion, you can choose to be one of 6 approved religion. Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Confucianism. Everything other than this 6 are unrecognized by the state but if you happens to be something out of these 6 religion nothing will actually happens. A lot of people are actually still animist, practice shamanism, but they tend to be registered as the follower of Islam religion just to make administration easier. There’s also forced conversion after the Communist Purge where everything Chinese is banned and a lot of Chinese-Indonesian are forced to choose either Buddhism or Christianity since Confucianism were banned by the state, but after 1997 allowed once more, creating a syncretism between Christianity and Ancestor Worship within the Chinese-Indonesian community. Meanwhile in the east, a lot of animist and shaman practitioners were documented as Christian, and a lot of their practices are embraced and tolerated by Christianity, the way they’re done by Islam in the west. Basically a lot of compromise to get things done.

Popular sports need to be included. Besides martial arts (silat), we love soccer and badminton. Indonesia badminton team and athletes have won international champions: Thomas Cup, Uber, Sudirman, All England, BWF Tournaments and in Olympic too.

We and malay and pinoy bros are actually like siblings. We banter a lot, mock each other, sometimes even enter fisticuffs, but if someone hurt any of us, the other will protect with all their might. We love our brothers
Mr. Soekarno is Indonesian 1st president, Gajah Mada is the hero from ancient Java, he made a vow. Rade Ajeng Kartini (R.A is a title from Javanese Kingdom) she is the 1st lady to influence emancipation of women in Indonesia. In that time Women in Indonesia can't go to school and must get married in young age. So R.A Kartini speak up for the women right for school. We celebrate the Kartini's Day on April 21, usually we use traditional dress. Like from Java, Jakarta, Sumatera, etc.
wow! I have dind´t have any idea about Indonesia and that video was interesting, i agree with you that it´s great to learn about diferent cultures and people by internet :)) btw react to geography now Mexico, we are AMAZING (maybe my opinion it´s really patriotistic but yeah lol)
About Java and language. There are 3 traditional language in Java; 1. Javanese. This one commonly used in East and Central Java, and Yoyakarta. However each region have certain dialect that differ from other. For example, people in Surabaya in East Java, kinda use different Javanese language from people of Semarang (in Cetral Java) and Yogyakarta. 2. Sundanese. This used by people in West Java and some Banten. 3. Betawi, used by Jakarta/Betawi people and Some Banten. Interesting fact about Banten, being closed to Jakarta/Betawi and West Java/Sunda. They kinda merge this two languange. In addition there also 2 other language, Balinese and Maduranese. However some may disput than Bali and Madura is not Java.
I'm from Indonesia but never felt an earthquake, the earthquake was more centered in the south because the Australian continent hit Asia. so yes earthquakes occur every day but do not interfere with the lives of residents😭😂😂
People also don't realise how big Indonesia is. East to west is like further apart that the east and west cost USA I think or at least it is very close.
Indonesia is an archipelago nation consisted of over 17.000 islands, occupied by 1430 tribes or ethnic group speaking about 714 traditional languages (could be more) and we all united by Bahasa Indonesia - our national language. True that Bahasa Indonesia is originated from the Malay language (Malay is one of the tribes in Indonesia). But is also the neighboring country of Indonesia. Please refer to Srivijaya Kingdom and Majapahit kingdom history, if you wish to understand more about Indonesia - Malaysia long history. Just a brief: Srivijaya is a kingdom based in Palembang, Indonesia with territory include almost all part of the South East Asian countries. That's SEA countries mostly understand Malay language which was the lingua Franca during the era. Srivijaya falled to Majapahit Kingdom in Java. The People of Srivijaya then started a new kingdom including The Kingdom of Singapore, the Malaccan Kingdom (which then becomes the Malaccan sultanate). This kingdom then moved to the Malay peninsula which is Malaysia today. Most of the Kingdoms or Sultans in Malaysia were the direct decent of the Malaccan sultanate or the Srivijaya. That's why we shared a lot things in common with Malaysia and all of the other SEA countries. Hope this helps a bit.
Being born as a multilangual-Indonesian has made me learning other foreign languages much easier. In Indonesia itself I speak Acehnese, Indonesian, Malay, Javanese (Eastern-Javanese or Suroboyoan). I also speak English well (almost native), Arabic, Japanese (These 3 language I learned from school, some schools are more advanced and competitive in foreign languages as it is mandatory to be spoken at school). And now I speak Turkish (Very well or advancee) and Russian. And within Turkey I got to learn some Kurdish language (very basic as well as my other basic local language in Indonesia like Sundanese, and minangnese) and also Tatar language in Russia as I got to live in Tatarstan-Russia 😊 So let say in total about 14 to 15 languages (doesn’t include different accents we have in each city or village) 😉
I live in a eastern part of sumatra island and one day there’s a big earthquake happened on the west side of the island (even has tsunami warning). I felt the chair I was sitting is trembling but no one in the house felt it. But we still run outside and few minutes later we found out that’s really is an earthquake. Beside this, I haven’t experienced another earthquake.
Hi, the video of the presenter was presented some years ago, please see the new videos of Indonesia, you will see Indonesia has developed significantly, in terms of history, geography, spots to visit are still relevant, Indonesia was occupied by the dutch fo 350 years, before the dutch, it was Portuguese
the dutch invade like 350 years give or take and the japaneese invade for 3,5 years but in 1945 when the hiroshima event occured, the japaneese went home and the first president took this time to declared our independence... i think that was the story overall... or at least that was the common think they teach in my school...
Unfortunately some country episodes aren't out yet, as they go in alphabetical order (hence why the A-G-ish episodes don't have as much detail or quality). On the bright side, the Togo episode just released yesterday! (At the time of commenting). edit: Actually the Dutch colonised Indonesia! Britain took Malaysia and Singapore, while Spain got the Philippines, at least until the US decided to steal them. It's now actually why many Filipinos have English first names yet Spanish last names! I would also recommend watching the New Zealand episode. It's pretty good if you want to know a bit more about the main 5 countries in the anglosphere (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US), as both the Canada and Australia episodes are ooooooooold, and the latter two aren't out yet. The episode is still mostly about new Zealand (no offense Kiwis) but it can give you some idea of what to expect in the others.
10:39 Indonesian muslims didn't eat pork. Eating pork is forbidden in Islam, no metter where it is. If there was a muslim eating a pork, you could say that muslim was not religious person.
Fun fact: you can't find "Indonesia" in Indonesia. Cuz we are very different in every region. I love the diversity in my country. And we live in peace 🤘🏻
Initially, Indonesia was colonized by 4 major European Power. Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. Spain and Portugal establish trading port across Asia, Portugal colonizing from the West while Spain from the East (due to treaty of tordesillas). Then Portugal kinda kick the Spanish out of the Moluccas, but since Portugal ban the sale of the Nutmeg to the Dutch, they decide to do their own expedition and kick the Portuguese out and begin to establish their dominance, choosing Ambon as the headquarter of Dutch East India company holding in the east, but later relocated to Batavia in Java to be closer to the main Asia trading routes. The British slowly take over Portuguese settlement across Asia during the Iberian Union era where Portugal, used to be Britain’s Ally, come to be under personal union with Spain, Britain’s Enemy. They take over Portuguese trading ports across India and Establish themselves in Bencoolen, while Netherlands, then British Allies during the brief rule of King William and Queen Mary occupied Malacca and other Portuguese possession in Asia. Afterwards, the Dutch started to intervene with local’s politic, dividing and influencing these local powers, but the British in Bencoolen kinda intervene also so in a treaty they decide to trade settlements, Netherlands get to keep the whole Sumatra and Britain the whole Malaya. From that point onward Dutch hegemony over the archipelago is ensured, excluding small exclaves of East Timor that remains in Portuguese possession. Then Dutch East India company faulted into bankruptcy and the whole assets including Indonesian Islands were transferred to the Dutch Government, where they set up colonial government and entity called Dutch East Indies, that keep expanding and annexing it’s surrounding area until 1920’s where the border of modern day Indonesia is established. The issue that this caused is that Dutch New Guinea were administered separately from Dutch East Indies. The Dutch decide that Indonesia is the successor to Dutch East Indies while Indonesia decide that they get to keep everything the Dutch colonized in the Archipelago including New Guinea. That’s why according to Indonesian law the independence day is 1945 while the dutch recognize the loss of New Guinea in 1949 as the independence year of Indonesia
Yes, in Indonesia you must choose one of the official religion, which must be written in personal ID Card. I dont know whether it is written in Passport or not because I have none. In national principle, called Pancasila (Five Pilars in Sanskerta language), the first point is Ketuhanan yang Maha Esa, which is belief in the one and the only God. Indonesia is a religious country. So, you must choose one, whether you practice it or not. Atheist is not welcomed in Indonesia. Sorry 🙂
10:35 Muslim in Indonesia doesn't eat pork of course. But Pork is kinda common thing to find (kinda). But its really different especially in Bali which known as The Island of The God where pork is a common thing As for colonization, it's Dutch, British, Japanese
Maybe some indonesian eat pork, but for not Indonesia muslim. I'm an Indonesian muslim, and I never eat that thing in entire of my life until today. So that statment about eat pork please be corrected. We learn together.😊😊
There are at least 3 Nation Colonised Indonesia, 5 Nation/Kingdom that tries colonised but then only came with cultural introduction and one Nation that occupy the Colonial Country that rule Indonesia during WW2. Let me summarize them like these: 1. India trader and Religion Teachers by Buddhism monks and Hindu Brahmic Teachers during Ancient historical world 2. Islam World trader under Abbasid Caliphate tries to build few Indonesian puppet Sultanate of Mallaca 3. China Trader and diplomats during Han dinasty and Yuan dinasty during Kublai Khan Conquest to the south 4. Portuguese after Vasco Da Gamma Exploration team finished mapping South East Asia during exploration era 5. Spain Colonials during exploration era 6. Turkish diplomats and religion teachers under Ottoman Caliphate 7. Britain Came and Colonised 8. European East Indies Company from Dutch HQ colonization 9. France in Napeoleonic era occupation before taken by British again 10. Real Dutch but only temporary colonization 11. Japan Occupation taking it from the Dutch ruling colonials during WW2 I'm not really remember it but that it only the main Image of it. So yeah, even before the Exploration era Indonesia has been known by at least a quarter part of the world.
INDONESIA is not Islamic country, there are 6 Religion, Muslim just majority in Indonesia. And Indonesia muslim didn't eat pork, I think no Muslim in the world eat pork.
no muslims eats pork ... if they did it, it's a choice of individual... and Indonesian have ever been colonialize by dutch, japan,portugeese also ( only some islands)
indonesia collonies by 3 kingdom portuguese, dutch and japan, and the longes one is dutch more than 350 years, but that's pass. now we have good relationship with them...
1:36 kind of. Indonesian government prefers to call Borneo as Kalimantan to distance itself from Malaysia. It was started during the cold war(historically called "confrontation") between Indonesia and Malaysia and nowadays even they are generally in a friendly term the name sticks 2:30 it's mainly because some of those islands disappeared during high tide... Hence the confusion 5:51 Dutch, British, and Portugal. But mostly Dutch. They ruled more than a century(the dutch said they ruled for 3 centuries although most historian dispute that). Also Japan occupied Indonesia for 3 years during WW2 but that's entirely different story 10:40 no. Even though for the muslim that aren't practicing their faith, they're all in consensus that pork are considered as unclean 18:05 they have national AND local traditional culture/language. They are educated to embrace their national identity and to respect and conserve their tradition. And as the video stated most of us speaks 3 languages which includes national and traditional languages. And they're pretty proud of it actually. I'm not indonesian but I lived there for more than 2 decades so... It safe to say I'm an expert? Maybe? I dunno lol
12:40 Yes. Indonesia and it's islands were invaded and occupied mostly between the Netherlands and Portugal. The Netherlands got most of the territory while Portugal occupied nowadays Timor-Leste and Ilha das Flores.... (not the best part of our History)...
Excuse me sir. I want few information to you. Okè, I'm Indonesian sir. I'm Moezlem pèople. But nothing Muslim èating pork, èxcèpt called Munafik (Munafiq in 'arabic) !!!!!!! #thankyou 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lets talk about Papua and mining. As far as i can understand, Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution affirms that; "The earth, water and natural resources contained therein are controlled by the state and used for the greatest prosperity of the people." Considering that minerals and coal as natural resources contained in the earth are non-renewable natural resources, their management needs to be carried out as optimally as possible, efficient, transparent, sustainable and environmentally sound, as well as equitable in order to obtain the greatest benefit for the prosperity of the people in a sustainable manner. Based on this, Papua as province doesn't have right to control gold mining. Gold as natural resource are fully controlled by the Central Goverment. However Papua get Natural Resource Revenue Sharing (Dana Bagi Hasil Sumber Daya Alam/DBH SDA). DBH SDA are funds sourced from non-tax state revenues (Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak/PNBP) in the State Budget (Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara/APBN) which are allocated to regions based on a certain percentage figure to fund regional needs. For information, the amount of revenue sharing from natural resources in Papua is due to the large contribution of government revenues from the nickel and gold mining, namely PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI). As is known, the Government of Indonesia in 2018 officially owned 51.24% (from 9.38%) of PTFI shares through PT Inalum (Persero) with a transaction value of Rp. 65.6 trillion. From this The Central Government allocates 10% of PTFI's shares to the Papua and Mimika Regional Governments.
Indonesia was colonized by the Netherlands for about 350 years, from the early 17th century until 1949. Then, Japan comes in and takes over for 3.5 years. After that, Japan surrendered because the USA launce an atomic bomb. The Netherlands tried to take it back but Indonesia won.
10:34 i'll educated U. you are wrong. Muslim in Indonesia doesnt eat Pork. But in Indonesia, we just not muslim. In my island, flores island we are 97% predominantly Chatolic & we has ritual that pork included. So yeah we eat Pork. In Timor island, maluku, Papua, & North Sulawesi they predominantly 80% Protestant, they eat pork. Bali 97% Hinduism. They eat Pork. So Indonesia is the highest muslim people in the world, but Indonesian people eat pork, it doesnt mean muslim people who eat that. But other religion or entities.
Religions My British son married into a Roman Catholic Javan family and lives on the flanks of a volcano. He tells me that it is not possible to claim that you are Atheist but if you do say this it is assumed that you are actually Communist. As the Communists attempted to take over Indonesia in the past and were totally repulsed ,this is not a good thing to claim.
11:50 Yes british did colonize, but LOOONG time ago.. and not for long.. the biggest country that "famous" for colonize indo is Netherland, and later lose against Japan, Japan literally took over most of east asia, they also colonize half of china.. after 2 nuke bomb, Indo take advantage of weakened japan and claim freedom, united the people, with help of other country by recognize our independent, we are set to go.. and all of this colonization got nothing to do with english. English is the most basic language in here, more than our mother tounge like he said. infact, ill claim to be 2 main language Indo and english, english and indo is like basic requirement from primary school to college.. even jobs.. obviously because english is International language, break the language barrier in the world, got nothing to do with colonialization.. (Young generation is more fluent with english than old generation, more reason its not about the history) the other like mandarin, japanese, even 99 local/tradition language is just side language not main. Reason? we have TON of culture and TON of language, which mean ur local language cant be used to others places.. in java/jawa alone, the only group that still use Java language is Old people.. but it's polite to use their language, specially to old people..
in europe they love football so much we say "europe loves football like their own religion" in indonesia they might be saying that we love religion like football team....lul
"Normally Muslim" in Indonesia didn't eat pork, but some unreligious still OK to drink alcohol & some regular Indonesian muslim just ok with their food. Not really concerned with their food, that's why some of them just eat in Chinese restaurant that serving porks🤣 But I would say mostly Indonesian muslim big no no with alcohol & pork. But Indonesia is diverse, there's a lot of province region dominated with non muslim community (mostly christian & the famous Bali island is dominated Hindu) and pork menus are such tradition.
Hi, i just came to your video. I'm an Indonesian and also a teacher. Western people have no idea about Indonesia, but if i mention Bali, they know better (They thought Bali is a country, not a part of Indonesia). Bali always full with foreigners (we call Caucasian as bule) especially from Aussie in summer season. Wanna experience live on ring of fire? lol. "The Geography Now" didn't mention Krakatoa Mountain (in Sunda strait) that exploded in 1883, it has the child that still active until now. The Kawah Ijen, the blue fire, you have to start hiking at 3 or 4 am (but not in raining morning). Before Netherland came, Portuguese came in 1511 led by Alfonso de Albuquerque. The Colonialism of VOC (Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie), at first they came (1596) they wanted to have trading "rempah-rempah"/spice such as black pepper, cinnamon (and its alternative, cassia), cumin, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. And then, they "wanted more", so that they colonial Indonesia for 350 years. They also build a system, schools (my mom and her siblings went to Netherland's school), architectures, lot of river dame, spoor/train track, and Anyer to Panarukan ways. And then Nippon came after Netherland, many Netherland killed by Nippon soldiers, many architecture that they build destroyed by Nippon, our native/ancestors must do "Romusha" and no school for local kids while Nippon colonial Indonesia for 3,5 years. Nippon lost on WWII, they also gave up to Indonesian soldiers. If you wanna know for more information, please ask. For my Indonesian friends, y'all may add my comment. Have a good day, Michael. :)
FYI, religion is not stated in Indonesian passport, but only in national ID card. For others who has another religion (beside Islam, Christian (Protestant), Chatolic, Hindu, Budha, and Confisianism), he/she will have that column emptied.
1. For what I remembered from school, Indonesia was colonized by Dutch, Portuguese, British, and Japan. Dutch managed to colonized Indonesia for around 350 years, along with Portuguese and British (but they're not long). The shortest period of colonization was Japan (only 3,5 years), but they managed to take almost everything from Indonesia. Even left the people only to wear gunny sack (kain goni) for their clothing and footwear (from what my grandparents had experienced). I do not know if the nations that was colonized us tell their children this part of history, but this is what we learned in our history class since we were in elementary school, aside from the geographical aspect of course. Though it is all in the past, we are now relatively in good relationship with them. 2. Muslim in Indonesia are aware that pork is haram. So, we are not like the other muslim country who are allowed eating pork. We DON'T eat pork and people will put a sign "No Pork, No Lard" or Halal marking from the MUI (which is through legal process) on the front door of their restaurants, cafe, etc (especially when they are serving western cuisines). It is not to be racist, but it is to protect and respect each other (muslim and non-muslims). 3. Yes. Indonesia only acknowledge six religions and cultural believe (since we have many local culture and each one have different traditions). Formally, Indonesia only acknowledge six religions to put on their passport. 4. As for the earthquakes, actually we experienced more than 4 times a day. We have an app called BMKG apps. It records all the tectonic activities happening on the whole part of Indonesia. It can be around 4 to 6 earthquakes happening a day, but it is just a minor. Do take notes, as Indonesian, 4 - 5 Magnitude is not major. We can still eat our lunch or dinner wih the family in the dining room, leisurely 🤣 we called it major when it happens >5,5 magnitude or when it happens on the sea. As long as the quake didn't disturb our activity, we are chill 🤣 well, not a good example though hahaha I hope my explanations could help you give a little bit of knowledge about Indonesia. That was just from what I have learned through school. Nowadays, you have many resources you can get to learn more about Indonesia. So, hope you enjoy it. Have a good day.
In Indonesia, if you go miles away, you probably will find another languages, cultures, religious hot spots, etc. So its pretty normal for us being different and unique.
Why do I love Indonesia? The only country that makes "REPTILE" as national animals is Indonesia. I'm talking about 100% nature in Indonesia, not 1 city or 1 island. Indonesia has Mother Nature which has a very brutal power, because it can kill many people every year.
You know? Mother Nature in this country is the mastermind behind major natural disasters that can hit many countries and cause many fatalities, not just 1 or 100 times, but more than that. One Example : Tsunami 2004 (Boxing Day) start from Indonesia (Aceh Sumatera) impact 20 countries (To Africa).
When I was a teenager, at the high school level I always studied and read books about nature in a library located in Europe. I found a book that said :
>Tambora A Killer From Indonesia.
>Krakatoa The Day The World Exploded.
Both of these books tell about nature and its brutality at the same time. Not only that, in the book it is explained that the incident is located in 1 country but in different regions. Was it the only tragedy that was written by the International? No, there is a lot of history of major natural disasters in Indonesia that are written internationally.
Without many people realizing that nature in Indonesia is also very cruel, often raging, abnormal and brutal. Total natural disasters in Indonesia (8 Years Calculation) :
>Year 2022 = 1.421 (Period Jan - Jun).
>Year 2021 = 3,058
>Year 2020 = 2,925
>Year 2019 = 9,375 (Super insane).
>Year 2018 = 3,397
>Year 2017 = 2,341
>Year 2016 = 2,342
>Year 2015 = 1,682
Total natural disasters for 8 years = 26.541
If you know all the volcanoes, rivers, lakes, caves, waterfalls, beaches, mountains, rice fields, forests, wastelands and others in Indonesia (Nature), the nature is very insane.

Indonesia is a complete and very diverse tour package in large quantities. Even on trains, buses, airplanes, and ships, you can see different views from one country. It's really crazy, like going to another country but still in the same country. Imagine in 1 city and even then there are many tourist attractions. What about Indonesia as a whole? Millions of tourist attractions. Therefore, many people misunderstand tourism in Indonesia because it is too much and varied. Then you will find something unique and strange, at least go on 30 different trips to tourist attractions in Indonesia and I am sure you will have a much more extraordinary experience.

(And the remaining 109 natural attractions I have not applied, because I am still looking for information on which tourist attractions I will visit in 2024). You can check the photos of the places I mentioned on Google, the natural attractions in Indonesia are crazy.
Did you know if we look at the map of the Indonesia territory, it's like a person / Jinn who sleeps on his back.
Sumatra : Feet.
Kalimantan : Stomach.
Jawa, Bali, Nusa Tenggara : Spine.
Sulawesi : Bosom.
Maluku : Neck.
Papua : Head.
Other small islands : Acne.
Not only that, Indonesia has more than 500 volcanoes = Active, inactive and underwater.
Nature in Indonesia is really insane very different class categories, there is a saying that says :
(Indonesia is the throne Queen Mother Nature).
There is even a study that has visited 400 tourist attractions in Indonesia and it is only 10% for him. From Sabang Sumatera to Merauke Papua (in 1 country) is expensive and long distance. It costs the same as you flying from Egypt to Dubai or Jakarta to South Korea or Spain to Belarus.
Indonesia was originally not an archipelago but a mainland called SUNDALAND (Western side of Indonesia) and SAHULLAND (Eastern side of Indonesia). However, 70% of the land was sunk into the ocean.
The territory of Indonesia is 60% sea, 30% (Forests, Volcanoes, Caves, Waterfalls, Rivers, Lakes, Mountains, Forests, Deserts, Cliffs and Canyons) and 10% Man-made.
The total area of Indonesia is 8.5 million km² (Including land, sea and EEZ). The coastline of Indonesia is more than 98.000 km².
In fact, in Indonesia, a lot tourist attractions (100% overall) is more than 4.800.000 - 6.100.000 (This is a total of the craziest nature in the world, that's why Indonesia has been named the MOST BEAUTIFUL NATURE IN THE WORLD AND ALSO THE MOST BRUTAL).
Indonesia is HEAVEN and HELL which collide with each other simultaneously, has 2 different sides. Traveling to Indonesia is not just about a relaxing and exciting travel experience, it is much deeper and more than that. You can even feel disappointed, emotional, confused, sad, tired, give up, smile, laugh, afraid, goosebumps, satisfied and others at the same time.
The number of victims of natural disasters in Indonesia in 1 year :
>(2022) is 1.4 million people.
>(2021) is 8.4 million people.
>(2020) is 945 people.
>(2019) is 3.721 people.
>(2018) is 10.32 million people.
>(2017) is 52.930 people.
>(2016) is 6 million people.
>(2015) is 22.773 people.
Total victims of natural disasters in Indonesia for 7 years = 25.200.369
The slogan of Mother Earth in Indonesia: A very brutal power from a very beautiful form.
Indonesia the most prominent is "MOTHER NATURE". The thinking of ordinary people will not reach when discussing Mother Nature, because Indonesia is labeled as a country that has the most brutal and risky nature in the world. This is no joke because the number of human deaths in Indonesia is very large every year, the category of nature in Indonesia is actually "VERY EVIL" because it can actually kill humans without mercy. Lots of documentation, films, articles, notes and history.
Mother Earth in Indonesia has long been known as the "KILLER". Even natural disasters in Indonesia are divided into 3 groups, namely:
1). MACRO. (At this rate if it happened, then the deaths would be predicted to be more than 100.000 - 10.000.000 may impact other countries).
2). MEZZO.
3). MICRO.
Unbeknownst to ordinary people, know that nature in each country is different (Nothing is the same). Therefore, many experts always remind "Be careful when going to natural attractions in Indonesia".
Fun Facts :
>Dutch band Within Temptation made the title song "Mother Earth" which describes nature in Indonesia. Even Sharon Den Adel, vocalist of Within Temptation, has lived in Bali Indonesia since childhood.
>Groove Coverage from Germany is a music group that uses the name "INDONESIA" as the title track and is included in the album "21 Century". This song is officially made. If no one knows Groove Coverage, then you can search for it by typing "GOD IS A GIRL" you will find out who sings the song is a woman. This group was very popular in 2000 - 2013 in many countries. But why did he choose the name "INDONESIA" as a song? Without realizing it, Groove Coverage is the first international music group to make the name "INDONESIA" as a song (2006).
>Maria Amanda/Sabrina Nielsen, a Gothic Europe model (Denmark), has visited several places in Indonesia (Bali and Yogyakarta) and wrote an extraordinary assessment on Instagram.
>The name Indonesia is taken from a word in Ancient Greek and is related to the history of Ancient Greek mythology. The Indonesian name is referred to as "GAIA".
>Celine Dion from Canada has a song inspired by the music "Keroncong Indonesia" entitled "To Love You More" and in 2018 came to Indonesia.
>A rock band called Fransoa from France made a song called "Aku Masih Lapar" in Indonesian languages, the lyrics mention the names of Indonesian food.
>The European Gothic genre band "Xandria" from Germany made a video in Indonesia in 2015.
>The title songs namely "Straitjackets And Wards" and "Eternal Waking" became the soundtrack of a horror game from Indonesia called "Pulang Insanity".
>And others.
wow that's a great description for my country. Thank you 🤭
Terima Kasih 😁
Wooaaww So acurate description of My country 😀👍
Seems like you're in love with my country 😁
@@peggyputri6980 Yes, because there are too many things to explore which I described earlier. It's too crazy to talk about the whole nature in Indonesia, even if I compare it with other countries. Nature in Indonesia is very colossal, because in 1 place or in 1 city only (For example, in Jakarta it has more than 300 tourist attractions. That's already that many in Jakarta, let alone all over Indonesia?). So crazy.
13:31 Yes, we need to choose one of those six religion and it’s stated in our identity card (Kartu Tanda Penduduk or KTP in bahasa Indonesia). Perhaps, some people think it violates human rights, but the first point of our national principle, Pancasila said “Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa” which means “Belief in the Almighty God”. So yeah, we need to do that. Thanks for ur reaction btw!
Somebody told me that one of the reason why religion included in identity is to tell people (who found you dead) how to buried your body in your religion’s way.
It also has something to do with the government's policy to wipe out communism ideology. Up until today, there's still a huge stereotype among Indonesians that people who do not have a religion is a communist. That's why all citizens are required choose one religion. Of course there are people who only pick a religion on paper to avoid getting into trouble, or simply because what they believe is not on the list.

Oh yes, most Indonesian are trilingual, even if they don't speak English (because they are just bad at it), if they have parents from different cultures, or same culture parents but the children is born and/or raised is another culture area, then that child would automatically spoke any languages their parents speak and what language their neighbors and school friends speak. So Indonesian childrens in that case can speak 2 or 3 local language, 4 if you add bahasa indonesia, 5 if you know English, 6 if you are Muslim (because we learn Arabic to read the Quran), and you can still learn more like French, German, Russian, Italian, Korean, Chinese or Japanese if you want.
Mostly only 2 not 3 or 4.

If You look at the Indonesian national emblem carefully, you can find this statement "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" in the lower side of the Garuda bird. It means "unity in diversity". Yes Indonesia consist of hundreds of tribes and have hundreds of native language, but we are proud to be one nation, with one motherland, and we use Indonesian language as our lingua franca.
I'm Javanese btw, I grew up in Bali and West Java. And this makes me able to speak in more than 4 languages. I can speak Javanese (my mother tongue), Indonesian, English, lil bit of Balinese, and Sundanese (West Java).
ps: no devout Muslims would eat pork, but the sale of pork is not prohibited in Indonesia (Indonesian is secular country btw). You can easily find pork based traditional dishes in areas where there is significant numbers of non Muslims. For instance in Bali where the population is dominantly Hindu, the consumption of pork is quite common among non Muslims. Bali is also famous for its "suckling pig/babi guling" and "pork ribs" dishes. I never tried them though, being a muslim

Well,Indonesia is a special one,since it's not secular nor religion based country.
Indonesian law influenced by local culture,religion and western law.
It's not a secular country since religion play an important thing to indonesian system,laws and norms.
Perhaps it feels strange for foreigners that we included religion in our ID cards. So let me explain, that every religion has different sacral burial ceremonies and rituals. So just in case, somebody died in an accident, the authorities could honor the diseased through their religious rituals. In this modern era, many Muslims have Christian names, like me while many non-Muslims have Muslim names, like Ahmad, Rizki, etc.
If you ask how do we keep our union, well actually we do have racism between tribes, but mostly we can accept it, and even sometimes we make a joke of it.
Don't forget with Pancasila (the National principle). The first is "Belief in the one and only God". So... you need to choose a religious belief
And everyone has Hindu / Indian names. Wisnu, Arya, Aditya, Gatot, Rhasma, Laras, etc. You never know how to appropriately bury them, they could be Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist.

No, we don't eat pork and No muslim in the world eat pork. it's good that you asked that here otherwise it would have been awkward :D.
Edit : It seems many people say they're a muslim and they ate pork. Here's my answer. If you're doing the things that God forbid in the Quran then you no longer a Muslim. How's that hard to understand.
Maybe "someone" did eat pork either without knowledge if they were ate pork or they really ate. But not normal things here tho.
Actually, even countries in middle east have approved Indonesia as the country with the most halal food eaters in the world, and they sometimes use Indonesia's halal checking method too. You will rarely see any packaged food/beverage without halal logo in Indonesia.
The dude might think we eat pork just because he only know that we are in SEA.
Yeah but indonesia isn't entirely muslim and many eat pork
@@JupiterVortex yes of course but he's talking about what the guy said about Muslim in Indonesia who can eat pork which is not true. It's still available for other believers tho.

Many not know this, but I learnt that Spain actually colonialize parts of Indonesia too
@@thatguywhois yes absolutely
I remembered that spain colonized indonesia almost the same time with portugese (i don't really remembered it, so please corect me if i'm wrong)
Spain actually never colonized Indonesia. They only competed with the Portuguese in the spice trade by cooperating with the sultanates of Ternate and Tidore, which also competed for power in eastern Indonesia (Ternate - Portuguese) vs. (Tidore - Spain)
Hey, if u notice. Indonesia has a very long distance. If u count the sea, from Aceh (the western part of indonesia) to Papua (the eastern part of indonesia) its like flying from Ireland to Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan. Just imagine how diverse we are.... i'm still get goosebumps when i think about our founding father get these island to unite to become a one country.
Surprisingly, the founding father is Dutch empire
@@dogsing1789 HAHAHA
@@dogsing1789 Soekarno et al. still had to convince sultanates & kingdoms occupied by the Dutch to join this new country instead of declaring their own independence. Some of them were even sovereign countries like Yogyakarta, Surakarta & Buton sultanate. After Indonesian independence, they did all they can to keep the country from falling apart. The Dutch launched military offensives that reduce Indonesia to significantly smaller area and ended with our leaders captured. Though with the combination of international pressure, guerilla warfare, negotiations & payment of Dutch government debt we managed to get the transfer of sovereignty.
Sabang to Merauke is roughly the same distance as Jakarta to Seoul.
Indonesia is so long that if you place it on top of the US it can reach from the west coast to the east coast
"Complicated" yea that's the word!
We have so many different cultures, languages and ethnics to say the least. Take your time to learn about Indonesia~ I salute you teacher!
I'm a proud Indonesian, and I'll try to answer your questions:
1. A dispute about the name:
We have always called it Indonesian islands, of course, since they're within Indonesian boundaries. I don't know who calls it Malay islands, but I'm not aware of any dispute.
2. Disputes over some islands:
Yes. But only over several islands, not even 10% as many as the difference in the amount of islands according to the three different sources. I think the differences are more becuse of their definiton of what can be called 'an island'.
3. Pura Ulun Danau (lake) Bratan [poor-ah uloon dah-know brah-tahn]
4. The Dutch, but you found out a bit later, didn't you ☺️
It was mention actually at 3:52 in the video
5. Wrong. Most Muslim in Indonesia do NOT eat pork. Perhaps you saw some videos where some did, or even opened a restaurant selling pork. But most Indonesian Muslims adheres to Islamic rules, so they don't eat pork. In fact, most people (the baby boomers and the gen X people) consider it disgusting, and avoid just the look of it. It is by no means allowed in Islam, everywhere in the world. But Indonesian government is not based on sharia, so there's no law enforcement about that, and people can choose whether they want to adhere or not to the sharia, even though they are registered as Muslims.
6. No, you got it correct, religion is stated in our ID card or passport or any other official papers. In our constitution, it is said that we are a religious country, and the believe of One God is number one in our five basic principles. So everyone must have a religion. But we can choose whichever religion we like, and we're also allowed to change anytime.
7. About the gathering for the dead. We do it in order to pray together for the dead, since we all believe in the life after death, and we want to make it easy for them by praying FOR them, not to them. And we bury the dead right away after they die, asap, only hours later or one night tops. We don't leave them out for days. Different concept.
8. True, Indonesia is a 'conglomerate' of many ethnic groups, many languages, many islands, but we were brought together by the same fate, that we were colonialized, or constantly attacked, by the Dutch. Our fore fathers realized that our localized effort was always futile; the Dutch played us one against another. So they made a pledge to stay together. As stated in the video, they chose to use the Malay language, already spoken in many areas in Sumatra and Borneo, as a unifying language. Not only because Malay is more neutral and Javanese is difficult, but the Javanese language has hierarchy, by which the youth/low caste have to speak a more polite language to the seniors/higher caste, so even the Javanese forefathers voted against it.
We can get along by holding on to our motto: Unity in Diversity. So we look at our differences as a variety of gems held together in a beautiful brooch, and we're proud of it.
Yes, commonly, an Indonesian communicate with at least 2 languages on daily life. We learned other foreign languages too, mostly English. We also learn Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, French, Germany, Arabian, Spanish, Korean, etc. Our old generation (grand parents and parents) most likely speak/understand Dutch as well.
10:38 - No. We, Indonesian muslims, don't eat pork. Well, at least most of us don't, since it's forbidden by sharia law. But, sure, you might find some Indonesian Muslims who eat pork, be it accidentally or deliberately. Why? It's safe to say, maybe they're only born from Muslim family but not so much into practicing Islamic rules.
18:21 - Since our country's motto is "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" (Sanskrit, means unity in diversity) the government makes sure the motto literally applied in our daily lives, by inserting the curriculum related to it into our entire education system since we're on kindergarten level. The result, most (if not all) of Indonesian people tolerate everything, respect everyone, and welcomed differences.
Personally, I appreciate your interest in learning more about our country. Trust me, you will fall in love with Indonesia. 🤗
every moslems in the world prohibited to eat pork .. indonesian moslems also.. , thanks for reacting indonesian geography. indonesia is very diverse in many things. diverse in landscape , diverse in animals species , diverse in people , diverse in culture .. our national motto is Unity in Diversity. we have everythings ... but the rest part of the world still didnt know what is "Indonesia" ... i called it Invisible country . just like wakanda in marvel universe 😝😝
The Dutch remember. The Dutch don't remember it well or enough or the right way, but they remember at least something.
Yeah we're wakanda in real life 😂
The English language didn't come from colonization era, it came with globalization mainly. No, Muslims are still not allowed to eat pork. Indonesia was mainly colonized by the dutch for about 350 years, followed by Japan for about 3.5 years, then independence in 1945. Though, Dutch tried to come back to Indonesia and didn't recognize our independence until 1949. That's why some people say Indonesian independence is in 1949. It's actually declared in 1945 after Japan lost the war. Our national motto is unity in diversity. So, yeah. I guess we can live in harmony because of our long history? Cmiiw 😅
Not exactly 350 years. Coz for example: Aceh was just concuered in 1904. Kingdom of Bali was still maintained foreign relations until the beginning of 20 century. Some kingdoms in Sumatra & Sulawesi were still independent in 19 century. Even some sultanate in Kalimantan (& Sumatra) were still maintained their independence until our proclamation of independence in 1945
@@dsa8295 that's why I said "about" 👍
TLDR:
1. Mostly different province, we have different ethnicity (different language and culture).
2. But in my home, i use my local language (Bahasa Sunda).
3. Mostly people in their home using local language (Java, Sunda, Batak, Dayak, Papuan, Malay etc), but if talk with other ethnicity we use Indonesia language, thats how we unite.
nahh most of people in cities use indonesian too nowadays, atleast in sumatera, that's why alot of us don't even know how to speak our local languages anymore, no one teaches us, beside the local churches that still use local languages in worships/catechisms.
11:59 actually, during the world war time, many indonesian people can speak dutch language. and indonesian technical or engineering university uses many dutch languages.
during japan colonization, the japanese kinda restrict usage of dutch languages (CMIIW) and then teach indonesian japanese language
so there was also many people who can speak japanese then.
after independence. knowing english is world language. indonesian people start to learn english from elementary school (my case)
indonesian elementary school until high school usually have minimum 3 languages classes:
-Bahasa indonesia (indonesian language)
-Bahasa inggeris (english)
-Bahasa Daerah (local language, if you are in west java it is sundanese, if you are in east java then it is javanese, and it depends on each local languages)
and for extra. during high school there is option to learn another languages such as japanese, arabic, and mandarin
and of course for muslim, learning to read arabic hijaiya is a must.
aaand. if sundanese person go to east java for college. they usually can speak javanese also
aaaand sundanese and javanese language is very very different in vocabulary.
aaaand.. sundanese or other languages also have their unique local version.
it is like 1 different language every 100km
so it is important for us to use Bahasa Indonesia to unite us
My grandma can speak dutch n japan as well she can speak java and indinesia as her mother language.
That's remind me my elementary school didnt have local language class untill i was in 6th year. Because im from Banten, part of us speak sundanese the rest speak javanese or other local language so yeah when our school decide to make the sundanese a local language lesson for us, we be like, "what? this isnt our language."
After Indonesia became independent, about 350,000 people emigrated to the Netherlands around 1949. The Indonesian diaspora has a lot of influence on Dutch culture and cuisine. The third and fourth generations have now almost assimilated, making them less noticeable in Dutch society. In 1975 Suriname became independent and about 300,000 people emigrated to the Netherlands. Among these people were also the Javanese diaspora. Javanese, Indians and Chinese were recruited as indentured servants in the 19th century because slavery was abolished.
There is currently a large Indonesian and Javanese diaspora living in the Netherlands. In addition, the Netherlands is the 4th largest investor in Indonesia, after China, Japan and Singapore. Many Indonesians also study at Dutch universities. Did you know that Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands actually sell Indonesian dishes with a Chinese twist. Indonesian food was already known around the 1930s, when the Chinese opened restaurants they first sold Chinese, but it turned out not to sell well. Since then, the Chinese have been cooking Indonesian dishes adapted to the Dutch. Since then, it has also been considered Dutch cuisine. The Indonesian language has 10,000 Dutch loanwords. But the Dutch language also has many Malay/Indonesian loanwords.
Add to those Indonesians that came to NL those Dutch people that came back from Indonesia after WW2/independence. They may not look Indonesian, and they may not be Indonesian but they are/were a very distinct cultural group
Our unity motto is " bersatu kita teguh, bercerai kita runtuh " means, together we strong, divided we collapse or fail. And so it reflect in our national motto..bhineka tunggal ika means we consist of many diversity groups ( race, tribe, language of our mother tongue) but we are one (tunggal ika ). Are you really Teacher ? You can check our Indonesia from Wikipedia..but of course, if u have questions I d love to respond it. Peace bro
Muslims in Indonesia obviously don't eat pork either. However, the sale of food containing pork is not prohibited. Muslims independently must pay attention to the presence of halal labels in restaurants or on food packaging.
The video of "Indonesia" Geography has been quite some time uploaded.. I think the information & some photos need to be updated.. bcause the development has progressed a lot for last couple years.. there are some good videos of Indonesian geography & history

(i've seen people from other regions raised in jakarta and embrace the culture of their own and the jakartans culture,) and what unifies us is mostly social media, our one language and even sometimes food! food is the most important, we share a lot of them with other cultures inside Indonesia as well. They are generally accepting, and different beliefs doesn't mean we can't live in harmony. even as a minority(non-moslem and not really an indigenous descent), i cant vouch for this kindness and acceptance of people :D
right! i forgot about something! we also sing other culture's songs as well, and they are taught as national songs at school, generally taught from an early age, and every kinda like flag ceremony(at school usually), we sing the school anthem(for private schools usually), the national anthem and one song from the long list of national songs! hope that adds more to your knowledge hehe :D
You must have often heard of the Rafflesia Arnoldi flower. This flower was first discovered in 1818 in the tropical forest of Sumatra by a guide who worked for Dr. Joseph Arnold who was following the expedition of Thomas Stamford Raffles, so this plant was named according to the history of its discoverer, namely the merger of Sir Raffles and Dr. Arnold, and name it Rafflesia Arnoldi
1. Nope Kalle, Indonesian muslims don't eat pork. There are even recent incident when people try to make a certain traditional dish from West Sumatra (beef rendang) with pork, and he ended up apologizing for it.
2. The Dutch government ruled Indonesia for 350 years first through the Dutch East Indies Company and then through colonial government. Fun fact, Jakarta and Gothenburg both designed by the Dutch around the same era. They have the same design pattern and layout if I remembered correctly.
3. There's no such things as Indonesian culture because it is not yet a nation state (although it claims to be). There are only a set of attributes that define Indonesian identity such as, Indonesian language, Indonesian motherland and Indonesian nation in which the last two are made up politically constructed ideas (see The Youth Pledge of 1928). So a lot of elements in the the Indonesian identity as a whole are new and we are not there yet, and we still go back and forth arguing about the fundamentals (See, this is the real challenge of multiculturalism). Indonesia is not a homogenous nation like Sweden that has historically one ethnic, one language, one religion nation.
Each tribes has their own customs, tradition and religion which throughout history has been exploited by politicians for identity politics that is responsible for numbers of riots and genocides in the country. Meanwhile all influential media, economy and politics are based in Jakarta, and the ruling elites basically using that to impose the "Indonesian identity" to replace the regional, tribal, native identity.
I studied in the city of Padang, Indonesia for 3 years, in one year I experienced 4 to 5 earthquakes. The first time I experienced an earthquake at 1 pm, it really traumatized me. After the second year began to get used to the earthquake. The hardest thing I've ever felt, when I came home from college very tired and fell asleep, I woke up because of the earthquake, and I had to force myself to get up and stand, otherwise I might die buried under collapsed buildings. The duration of the earthquake was more than 3 minutes. Fortunately I have finished my studies in Padang, I returned to my hometown which has never experienced an earthquake
I experienced one in Jogja 27 May 2006 (magnitude of 6.4 depth 15 Km), it was the most terrifying sound of trembled earth that i ever heard. The tremor when everything is shaking is really a scary sound.
Earthquake and volcano erupted is our main menu's.

@12 :24 Ok this is incorrect. Bahasa Indonesia is based on Bahasa Melayu or Malay Language and the Malay Language is indigenous to the Riau Islands, parts of Sumatra and Kalimantan.
So Bahasa Indonesia is indigenous to Indonesia.
And there is high intelligibility between Bahasa Indonesia and Malay.
Most Malay speakers especially those exposed to Bahasa Indonesia through drama series, movies, religious programs would not have any issue understanding Indonesia and most Indonesians would not struggle that much understanding standard Malay.
I would say mutual intelligibility is close to 99 percent.
Source - I'm a Malay speaker from Singapore and I can understand Indonesian almost 100 percent of the time.
Also, it makes sense to have Bahasa Indonesia / Malay as the official language of Indonesia since various versions of Malay have been spoken throughout the archipelago for centuries such as Ambon Malay, Kupang Malay, Papua Malay, Makassar Malay and Manado Malay.
Yes, I can confirm this! I'm from the province of Riau Islands. We have a very strong Malay cultures too just like our neighbors in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, although it is not usually represented well enough in Indonesian national media. Traditionally we were part of the Malay Kingdom (sorry I forgot the name, is it kesultanan melaka or something cmiiw) but we were under the Dutch hence why we are part of Indonesia now even though geographically it looks like we belong to Malaysia. We shared a lot of dishes like nasi lemak, lemang, buah melaka, laksa, tempoyak, any typical malay dishes you could think of, we usually have it here. We wear baju kurung at work/school on Fridays and for events like weddings and holidays. We learn to write Jawi/Arab Melayu at school. Funny thing is, when we go to Java to study, most of the people here would think we were Malaysians because our Bahasa Indonesia have a hint of Malay accent.
Indonesia is like a reduced and unified world, so many cultures and diversity.
Bahasa Indonesia is arguably the easiest language to learn. However there are over 300 traditional languages actively used by the people, each of them are uniquely different.
34 provinces with 300 languages, that roughly makes 8 languages for each province.
for the record, there are actual over 600 languages. Some of them are similar. I divide it to half to make easier lol. but you got the point.
If Bahasa Indonesia is easy to learn then why is it the hardest subject in school, literally out of all the subjects during my UAS exam my Bahasa Indonesia score is the lowest lmao 😭 even lower than my english and sunda
@@somestuff7468 ever heard of the term 'easy to learn, hard to master' ?
@@somestuff7468 In my opinion, that's because what we learn in Indonesian uses standard language and is more like literature. Meanwhile, the Indonesian language that we use every day is not standard and is often mixed with regional languages. While English, we don't study that deep at school. For traditional languages, this is probably because they are used daily.
Also, for people who rarely use traditional languages in everyday life, it is also a little difficult to get high scores.
Correct me if i'm wrong about it. But it's from my experience and from see people around me.
Hey man, Indonesian here and let me explain about colonization of Indonesia, first Portuguese colonized us around 1600s mainly on Mollucas Island for a spices I think, then followed by British, Spanish and last important colonizer is of course a Dutch (or Holland). Yeah it's true British ruled us for few years because of Dutch were conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte back in 1800s with Dutch oversea territories handed over to British for a while (including another Dutch big colony in South Africa.) Finally we were colonized or invaded I guess by our fellow asian, Empires of Japan in 1942-1945. Many of Indonesian died during that period of time, because of famine and conscription by Japanese. I am typing this based on knowledge of my memories so bear in mind with mistakes that I made along the way. Cheers
Adding my personal experience is I considered myself as Trilingual, not because my native language but because mainly I am speaking Indonesian, English and still learning German for my internship program to Germany
fact: before portuguese colonization, first country who try to cooperate indonesia(nusantara) and have love-hate connection is china. my history teacher from high school teach me about this because it isn’t mention in school books
@@imrise5136 Long before Mongol Chinese invasion failed in Java, parts of Sumatra under Srivijaya rule was once fall and became part of Chola Empire, which is now India. Cooperation, invasions, expansions, they all happened everywhere in the world history, but colonization takes it to another level. When the European colonials settled in Nusantara (South-east Asia Archipelago) they tend to look down the locals, they grouped people by race, saying that they are more morally civilized. Then the people of Nusantara rebelled, fought to be free and independent, resulting what we now called Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines, Singapore, etc.
I, as an Indonesian, am also confused about how many different tribes can become one country, namely Indonesia. Maybe it all started from the formation of the expansion of power and the seizure of territory by the Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms and Islam a thousands years ago, so the effects of several power struggles between these religious kingdoms made Indonesia have the same goal when it reached the 1600s, namely when it was colonized by the Dutch, namely wanting to be freed from the shackles of European colonialists.
It's great that you've started to pause the video whenever you want to comment on something. As jarring as it can be, it's still better than speaking over the video as you did previously and missing things or yourself not being understandable.
Viking: "That's one complicated country, how do they even get along?"
Me: "Yes."
12:48Why Indonesia languages same in dutch languages because,indonesia was colonized by the Dutch for 350 years, if you count backwards from 1945, it means that we were colonized by the Dutch from 1595. Meanwhile, in 1596 Cornelis de Houtman landed for the first time in Banten,and in historical records de Houtman is the Dutchman who first set foot in the archipelago/Indonesia,and that why Indonesia languages same as Dutch languages.And you ask me why i know this because i'm Indonesian people
By the "Indonesian muslims eat pork" some, yes. But most of the time there's always a "halal" label on every restaurant that doesnt serve haraam (forbidden) foods. Therefore, pork is still not halal, but some people that isnt religious may eat it
PS: and yes, the british did colonize indonesia. i mean, they colonized pretty much everyone
PS2 : Some say they respect eachother because they give eachothers holidays. Kinda funny but since there's 6 recognized religions here, most special days of each religion is considered holiday.
One of the two topics I had to study for my final history exam in high school was The Dutch in Indonesia. Always found that connection interesting. Even our literature has a fair share of Indonesian related content.
Surprisingly, the Brits just stayed in Indonesia only for few years. Apparently they were happy to have Malaysia and Singapore. The Dutch enjoyed spices from the sources (Molluca, Java, and Sumatra) for hundreds of years.
As a result of immense diversity, most individuals in Indonesia has developed a great amount of social sensitivity and tolerance. You can tell by the way Indonesian interacts. Do not mistakenly judge that Indonesians are laid back and always put smiley face, but actually these behaviours means Indonesians giving signs of openness and non-aggressiveness and always willing to avoid potential conflicts and negotiate to reach acceptable middle ground. Average indonesian has never seen or experience complete culture of the whole country in one lifetime. It is good that in terms of media, internet, and transportation infrastructures Indonesia has developed pretty impressive knowing its size as island nations. Religion fanatics are not welcome in Indonesia even though there are many individuals in politics can fall within that category. Yet untill now the settlement of such disputes always prefer non-violance approaches.
Exactly like the Dutch implemented the tolerant government style.
Love Indonesia from India. Lot of Indians go to Bali and even the muslims there are actually peaceful
Some if the information in this video is not exactly accurate, but it's still a good start to learn Indonesia in a nutshell
Indonesia have 6 Colonizer that is
-Portugal 🇵🇹
-Spain 🇪🇸
-Brittish 🇬🇧
-France 🇫🇷
-Dutch 🇳🇱
-Japan 🇯🇵
Indonesia is the country that blessed with cultural diversity
Bless and Curse is sometimes really similar 😂😂
Culturally speaking, Indonesia is similar to Brazil, in a sense that the government encourage people to adopt a national culture that doesn’t necessarily represent the ethnic lines, hence uniting Indonesian under one banner, being Indonesian. Like in Brazil, people don’t put importance of being “German-Brazillian” or “Portuguese-Brazillian”, everyone is just Brazillian and this created Unity in Diversity. Also in regards of religion, you can choose to be one of 6 approved religion. Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Confucianism. Everything other than this 6 are unrecognized by the state but if you happens to be something out of these 6 religion nothing will actually happens. A lot of people are actually still animist, practice shamanism, but they tend to be registered as the follower of Islam religion just to make administration easier. There’s also forced conversion after the Communist Purge where everything Chinese is banned and a lot of Chinese-Indonesian are forced to choose either Buddhism or Christianity since Confucianism were banned by the state, but after 1997 allowed once more, creating a syncretism between Christianity and Ancestor Worship within the Chinese-Indonesian community. Meanwhile in the east, a lot of animist and shaman practitioners were documented as Christian, and a lot of their practices are embraced and tolerated by Christianity, the way they’re done by Islam in the west. Basically a lot of compromise to get things done.

Mr. Soekarno is Indonesian 1st president, Gajah Mada is the hero from ancient Java, he made a vow. Rade Ajeng Kartini (R.A is a title from Javanese Kingdom) she is the 1st lady to influence emancipation of women in Indonesia. In that time Women in Indonesia can't go to school and must get married in young age. So R.A Kartini speak up for the women right for school. We celebrate the Kartini's Day on April 21, usually we use traditional dress. Like from Java, Jakarta, Sumatera, etc.
wow! I have dind´t have any idea about Indonesia and that video was interesting, i agree with you that it´s great to learn about diferent cultures and people by internet :)) btw react to geography now Mexico, we are AMAZING (maybe my opinion it´s really patriotistic but yeah lol)
About Java and language. There are 3 traditional language in Java;
1. Javanese. This one commonly used in East and Central Java, and Yoyakarta. However each region have certain dialect that differ from other. For example, people in Surabaya in East Java, kinda use different Javanese language from people of Semarang (in Cetral Java) and Yogyakarta.
2. Sundanese. This used by people in West Java and some Banten.
3. Betawi, used by Jakarta/Betawi people and Some Banten.
Interesting fact about Banten, being closed to Jakarta/Betawi and West Java/Sunda. They kinda merge this two languange.
In addition there also 2 other language, Balinese and Maduranese. However some may disput than Bali and Madura is not Java.
I'm from Indonesia but never felt an earthquake, the earthquake was more centered in the south because the Australian continent hit Asia.
so yes earthquakes occur every day but do not interfere with the lives of residents😭😂😂

Indonesia is an archipelago nation consisted of over 17.000 islands, occupied by 1430 tribes or ethnic group speaking about 714 traditional languages (could be more) and we all united by Bahasa Indonesia - our national language. True that Bahasa Indonesia is originated from the Malay language (Malay is one of the tribes in Indonesia). But is also the neighboring country of Indonesia. Please refer to Srivijaya Kingdom and Majapahit kingdom history, if you wish to understand more about Indonesia - Malaysia long history. Just a brief: Srivijaya is a kingdom based in Palembang, Indonesia with territory include almost all part of the South East Asian countries. That's SEA countries mostly understand Malay language which was the lingua Franca during the era. Srivijaya falled to Majapahit Kingdom in Java. The People of Srivijaya then started a new kingdom including The Kingdom of Singapore, the Malaccan Kingdom (which then becomes the Malaccan sultanate). This kingdom then moved to the Malay peninsula which is Malaysia today. Most of the Kingdoms or Sultans in Malaysia were the direct decent of the Malaccan sultanate or the Srivijaya. That's why we shared a lot things in common with Malaysia and all of the other SEA countries. Hope this helps a bit.
Being born as a multilangual-Indonesian has made me learning other foreign languages much easier. In Indonesia itself I speak Acehnese, Indonesian, Malay, Javanese (Eastern-Javanese or Suroboyoan). I also speak English well (almost native), Arabic, Japanese (These 3 language I learned from school, some schools are more advanced and competitive in foreign languages as it is mandatory to be spoken at school). And now I speak Turkish (Very well or advancee) and Russian. And within Turkey I got to learn some Kurdish language (very basic as well as my other basic local language in Indonesia like Sundanese, and minangnese) and also Tatar language in Russia as I got to live in Tatarstan-Russia 😊 So let say in total about 14 to 15 languages (doesn’t include different accents we have in each city or village) 😉
I live in a eastern part of sumatra island and one day there’s a big earthquake happened on the west side of the island (even has tsunami warning). I felt the chair I was sitting is trembling but no one in the house felt it. But we still run outside and few minutes later we found out that’s really is an earthquake. Beside this, I haven’t experienced another earthquake.
Really enjoyed this one. What a fascinating country
please search and read "PANCASILA"... you will know why you should be religious in Indonesia. Thank you
Hi, the video of the presenter was presented some years ago, please see the new videos of Indonesia, you will see Indonesia has developed significantly, in terms of history, geography, spots to visit are still relevant, Indonesia was occupied by the dutch fo 350 years, before the dutch, it was Portuguese
the dutch invade like 350 years give or take and the japaneese invade for 3,5 years but in 1945 when the hiroshima event occured, the japaneese went home and the first president took this time to declared our independence... i think that was the story overall... or at least that was the common think they teach in my school...
Unfortunately some country episodes aren't out yet, as they go in alphabetical order (hence why the A-G-ish episodes don't have as much detail or quality). On the bright side, the Togo episode just released yesterday! (At the time of commenting).
edit: Actually the Dutch colonised Indonesia! Britain took Malaysia and Singapore, while Spain got the Philippines, at least until the US decided to steal them. It's now actually why many Filipinos have English first names yet Spanish last names!
I would also recommend watching the New Zealand episode. It's pretty good if you want to know a bit more about the main 5 countries in the anglosphere (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US), as both the Canada and Australia episodes are ooooooooold, and the latter two aren't out yet. The episode is still mostly about new Zealand (no offense Kiwis) but it can give you some idea of what to expect in the others.
Thank you for explaining! :D
No problem! Take my words with a grain of salt though, as I'm far from an expert.
"Is Indonesia one of the countries where Muslims eat pork?"
BRO , ITS MUSLIM WE TALKING ABOUT-
Clever youtuber, everything about Indonesia, even just TH-cam react videos will attract many many many Indonesian viewers..
Very clever indeed
he crack the code 😂
10:39 Indonesian muslims didn't eat pork. Eating pork is forbidden in Islam, no metter where it is. If there was a muslim eating a pork, you could say that muslim was not religious person.
Fun fact: you can't find "Indonesia" in Indonesia. Cuz we are very different in every region. I love the diversity in my country. And we live in peace 🤘🏻
Hah? Iya gitu blm tau
No Bro every where in the world we Moeslem dont eat Pork , more over in Indknesia , we dont eat Pork at all .
One thing: Indonesians are actually loove foreign cultures. That's why cultures difused pretty easily here.
Datanglah ke Indonesia maka kamu akan jatuh cinta pada negeri Indonesia 🇮🇩❤️🙏
Initially, Indonesia was colonized by 4 major European Power. Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. Spain and Portugal establish trading port across Asia, Portugal colonizing from the West while Spain from the East (due to treaty of tordesillas). Then Portugal kinda kick the Spanish out of the Moluccas, but since Portugal ban the sale of the Nutmeg to the Dutch, they decide to do their own expedition and kick the Portuguese out and begin to establish their dominance, choosing Ambon as the headquarter of Dutch East India company holding in the east, but later relocated to Batavia in Java to be closer to the main Asia trading routes. The British slowly take over Portuguese settlement across Asia during the Iberian Union era where Portugal, used to be Britain’s Ally, come to be under personal union with Spain, Britain’s Enemy. They take over Portuguese trading ports across India and Establish themselves in Bencoolen, while Netherlands, then British Allies during the brief rule of King William and Queen Mary occupied Malacca and other Portuguese possession in Asia. Afterwards, the Dutch started to intervene with local’s politic, dividing and influencing these local powers, but the British in Bencoolen kinda intervene also so in a treaty they decide to trade settlements, Netherlands get to keep the whole Sumatra and Britain the whole Malaya. From that point onward Dutch hegemony over the archipelago is ensured, excluding small exclaves of East Timor that remains in Portuguese possession. Then Dutch East India company faulted into bankruptcy and the whole assets including Indonesian Islands were transferred to the Dutch Government, where they set up colonial government and entity called Dutch East Indies, that keep expanding and annexing it’s surrounding area until 1920’s where the border of modern day Indonesia is established. The issue that this caused is that Dutch New Guinea were administered separately from Dutch East Indies. The Dutch decide that Indonesia is the successor to Dutch East Indies while Indonesia decide that they get to keep everything the Dutch colonized in the Archipelago including New Guinea. That’s why according to Indonesian law the independence day is 1945 while the dutch recognize the loss of New Guinea in 1949 as the independence year of Indonesia
Yes, in Indonesia you must choose one of the official religion, which must be written in personal ID Card. I dont know whether it is written in Passport or not because I have none. In national principle, called Pancasila (Five Pilars in Sanskerta language), the first point is Ketuhanan yang Maha Esa, which is belief in the one and the only God. Indonesia is a religious country. So, you must choose one, whether you practice it or not. Atheist is not welcomed in Indonesia. Sorry 🙂
9:18 This is like when I went to a water park in Bali, and the maintenance guys were wearing *sandals.* Freaking sandals.
10:35 Muslim in Indonesia doesn't eat pork of course. But Pork is kinda common thing to find (kinda). But its really different especially in Bali which known as The Island of The God where pork is a common thing
As for colonization, it's Dutch, British, Japanese
Maybe some indonesian eat pork, but for not Indonesia muslim. I'm an Indonesian muslim, and I never eat that thing in entire of my life until today. So that statment about eat pork please be corrected. We learn together.😊😊
That's right
More than one third of Malaysian are first or second generation of indonesian who migrate to what is known Malaysia now.
Indonesia is an archipelago of various tribes and cultures but we are still one, one language, one nation, and we respect each other
Ahhh im from indonesian im very proud to my country because be the popular country in the world and im proud to the first presiden soekarno
There are at least 3 Nation Colonised Indonesia, 5 Nation/Kingdom that tries colonised but then only came with cultural introduction and one Nation that occupy the Colonial Country that rule Indonesia during WW2.
Let me summarize them like these:
1. India trader and Religion Teachers by Buddhism monks and Hindu Brahmic Teachers during Ancient historical world
2. Islam World trader under Abbasid Caliphate tries to build few Indonesian puppet Sultanate of Mallaca
3. China Trader and diplomats during Han dinasty and Yuan dinasty during Kublai Khan Conquest to the south
4. Portuguese after Vasco Da Gamma Exploration team finished mapping South East Asia during exploration era
5. Spain Colonials during exploration era
6. Turkish diplomats and religion teachers under Ottoman Caliphate
7. Britain Came and Colonised
8. European East Indies Company from Dutch HQ colonization
9. France in Napeoleonic era occupation before taken by British again
10. Real Dutch but only temporary colonization
11. Japan Occupation taking it from the Dutch ruling colonials during WW2
I'm not really remember it but that it only the main Image of it. So yeah, even before the Exploration era Indonesia has been known by at least a quarter part of the world.
INDONESIA is not Islamic country, there are 6 Religion, Muslim just majority in Indonesia. And Indonesia muslim didn't eat pork, I think no Muslim in the world eat pork.
no muslims eats pork ... if they did it, it's a choice of individual... and Indonesian have ever been colonialize by dutch, japan,portugeese also ( only some islands)
indonesia collonies by 3 kingdom portuguese, dutch and japan, and the longes one is dutch more than 350 years, but that's pass. now we have good relationship with them...
1:36 kind of. Indonesian government prefers to call Borneo as Kalimantan to distance itself from Malaysia. It was started during the cold war(historically called "confrontation") between Indonesia and Malaysia and nowadays even they are generally in a friendly term the name sticks
2:30 it's mainly because some of those islands disappeared during high tide... Hence the confusion
5:51 Dutch, British, and Portugal. But mostly Dutch. They ruled more than a century(the dutch said they ruled for 3 centuries although most historian dispute that). Also Japan occupied Indonesia for 3 years during WW2 but that's entirely different story
10:40 no. Even though for the muslim that aren't practicing their faith, they're all in consensus that pork are considered as unclean
18:05 they have national AND local traditional culture/language. They are educated to embrace their national identity and to respect and conserve their tradition. And as the video stated most of us speaks 3 languages which includes national and traditional languages. And they're pretty proud of it actually.
I'm not indonesian but I lived there for more than 2 decades so... It safe to say I'm an expert? Maybe? I dunno lol

Everything about Indonesia, many viewer more than you think.
12:40 Yes. Indonesia and it's islands were invaded and occupied mostly between the Netherlands and Portugal. The Netherlands got most of the territory while Portugal occupied nowadays Timor-Leste and Ilha das Flores.... (not the best part of our History)...

No. Some of information isnt Up to date. Like Provinces... Today Indonesian has more.
Lets talk about Papua and mining. As far as i can understand, Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution affirms that; "The earth, water and natural resources contained therein are controlled by the state and used for the greatest prosperity of the people."
Considering that minerals and coal as natural resources contained in the earth are non-renewable natural resources, their management needs to be carried out as optimally as possible, efficient, transparent, sustainable and environmentally sound, as well as equitable in order to obtain the greatest benefit for the prosperity of the people in a sustainable manner.
Based on this, Papua as province doesn't have right to control gold mining. Gold as natural resource are fully controlled by the Central Goverment. However Papua get Natural Resource Revenue Sharing (Dana Bagi Hasil Sumber Daya Alam/DBH SDA).
DBH SDA are funds sourced from non-tax state revenues (Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak/PNBP) in the State Budget (Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara/APBN) which are allocated to regions based on a certain percentage figure to fund regional needs.
For information, the amount of revenue sharing from natural resources in Papua is due to the large contribution of government revenues from the nickel and gold mining, namely PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI). As is known, the Government of Indonesia in 2018 officially owned 51.24% (from 9.38%) of PTFI shares through PT Inalum (Persero) with a transaction value of Rp. 65.6 trillion. From this The Central Government allocates 10% of PTFI's shares to the Papua and Mimika Regional Governments.
Indonesia was colonized by the Netherlands for about 350 years, from the early 17th century until 1949. Then, Japan comes in and takes over for 3.5 years. After that, Japan surrendered because the USA launce an atomic bomb. The Netherlands tried to take it back but Indonesia won.
Country that colonized Indonesia
Portugese
Dutch
Japan
10:34 i'll educated U. you are wrong.
Muslim in Indonesia doesnt eat Pork.
But in Indonesia, we just not muslim.
In my island, flores island we are 97% predominantly Chatolic & we has ritual that pork included. So yeah we eat Pork.
In Timor island, maluku, Papua, & North Sulawesi they predominantly 80% Protestant, they eat pork.
Bali 97% Hinduism. They eat Pork.
So Indonesia is the highest muslim people in the world, but Indonesian people eat pork, it doesnt mean muslim people who eat that. But other religion or entities.
Religions
My British son married into a Roman Catholic Javan family and lives on the flanks of a volcano.
He tells me that it is not possible to claim that you are Atheist but if you do say this it is assumed that you are actually Communist.
As the Communists attempted to take over Indonesia in the past and were totally repulsed ,this is not a good thing to claim.

Yes british did colonize, but LOOONG time ago.. and not for long..
the biggest country that "famous" for colonize indo is Netherland, and later lose against Japan,
Japan literally took over most of east asia, they also colonize half of china..
after 2 nuke bomb, Indo take advantage of weakened japan and claim freedom, united the people,
with help of other country by recognize our independent, we are set to go..
and all of this colonization got nothing to do with english. English is the most basic language in here, more than our mother tounge like he said.
infact, ill claim to be 2 main language Indo and english, english and indo is like basic requirement from primary school to college.. even jobs..
obviously because english is International language, break the language barrier in the world, got nothing to do with colonialization..
(Young generation is more fluent with english than old generation, more reason its not about the history)
the other like mandarin, japanese, even 99 local/tradition language is just side language not main.
Reason? we have TON of culture and TON of language, which mean ur local language cant be used to others places..
in java/jawa alone, the only group that still use Java language is Old people.. but it's polite to use their language, specially to old people..
in europe they love football so much
we say "europe loves football like their own religion"
in indonesia they might be saying that we love religion like football team....lul
"Normally Muslim" in Indonesia didn't eat pork, but some unreligious still OK to drink alcohol & some regular Indonesian muslim just ok with their food. Not really concerned with their food, that's why some of them just eat in Chinese restaurant that serving porks🤣 But I would say mostly Indonesian muslim big no no with alcohol & pork.
But Indonesia is diverse, there's a lot of province region dominated with non muslim community (mostly christian & the famous Bali island is dominated Hindu) and pork menus are such tradition.
Hi, i just came to your video. I'm an Indonesian and also a teacher. Western people have no idea about Indonesia, but if i mention Bali, they know better (They thought Bali is a country, not a part of Indonesia). Bali always full with foreigners (we call Caucasian as bule) especially from Aussie in summer season.
Wanna experience live on ring of fire? lol. "The Geography Now" didn't mention Krakatoa Mountain (in Sunda strait) that exploded in 1883, it has the child that still active until now. The Kawah Ijen, the blue fire, you have to start hiking at 3 or 4 am (but not in raining morning).
Before Netherland came, Portuguese came in 1511 led by Alfonso de Albuquerque. The Colonialism of VOC (Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie), at first they came (1596) they wanted to have trading "rempah-rempah"/spice such as black pepper, cinnamon (and its alternative, cassia), cumin, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. And then, they "wanted more", so that they colonial Indonesia for 350 years. They also build a system, schools (my mom and her siblings went to Netherland's school), architectures, lot of river dame, spoor/train track, and Anyer to Panarukan ways. And then Nippon came after Netherland, many Netherland killed by Nippon soldiers, many architecture that they build destroyed by Nippon, our native/ancestors must do "Romusha" and no school for local kids while Nippon colonial Indonesia for 3,5 years. Nippon lost on WWII, they also gave up to Indonesian soldiers.
If you wanna know for more information, please ask. For my Indonesian friends, y'all may add my comment. Have a good day, Michael. :)
As an muslim, we don't eating pork, we eating food halal like fish, chiken, cow, sheep, some healthy . Btw I'm from Indonesian, East Kalimantan.
FYI, religion is not stated in Indonesian passport, but only in national ID card. For others who has another religion (beside Islam, Christian (Protestant), Chatolic, Hindu, Budha, and Confisianism), he/she will have that column emptied.
1. For what I remembered from school, Indonesia was colonized by Dutch, Portuguese, British, and Japan. Dutch managed to colonized Indonesia for around 350 years, along with Portuguese and British (but they're not long). The shortest period of colonization was Japan (only 3,5 years), but they managed to take almost everything from Indonesia. Even left the people only to wear gunny sack (kain goni) for their clothing and footwear (from what my grandparents had experienced). I do not know if the nations that was colonized us tell their children this part of history, but this is what we learned in our history class since we were in elementary school, aside from the geographical aspect of course. Though it is all in the past, we are now relatively in good relationship with them.
2. Muslim in Indonesia are aware that pork is haram. So, we are not like the other muslim country who are allowed eating pork. We DON'T eat pork and people will put a sign "No Pork, No Lard" or Halal marking from the MUI (which is through legal process) on the front door of their restaurants, cafe, etc (especially when they are serving western cuisines). It is not to be racist, but it is to protect and respect each other (muslim and non-muslims).
3. Yes. Indonesia only acknowledge six religions and cultural believe (since we have many local culture and each one have different traditions). Formally, Indonesia only acknowledge six religions to put on their passport.
4. As for the earthquakes, actually we experienced more than 4 times a day. We have an app called BMKG apps. It records all the tectonic activities happening on the whole part of Indonesia. It can be around 4 to 6 earthquakes happening a day, but it is just a minor. Do take notes, as Indonesian, 4 - 5 Magnitude is not major. We can still eat our lunch or dinner wih the family in the dining room, leisurely 🤣 we called it major when it happens >5,5 magnitude or when it happens on the sea. As long as the quake didn't disturb our activity, we are chill 🤣 well, not a good example though hahaha
I hope my explanations could help you give a little bit of knowledge about Indonesia.
That was just from what I have learned through school. Nowadays, you have many resources you can get to learn more about Indonesia. So, hope you enjoy it.
Have a good day.
