Lombok is a province in Indonesia. As the name implies, it covers the western province of Nusa Tenggara islands. The two largest islands in the province is located in western Lombok and Sumbawa are located in the east. This provincial capital is located in the city of Mataram Lombok. Most of the population are from ethnic Sasak Lombok, Bima and Sumbawa while the tribe is the largest ethnic group in the island of Sumbawa. The majority of the population is Muslim West Nusa Tenggara (96%).Later, when the Kingdom was led by King Rangkesari, Prapen Prince, son of Sunan Giri came to Islamize the kingdom of the Queen of Lombok. Lombok is mentioned in the Chronicle, this effort is the Islamization of Raden Paku or Sunan Giri Queen of coarse sand, Surabaya who commanded the kings of East Java and Palembang to spread Islam to the different areas of the archipelago. "Queen Susuhnii Giri ordered the new faith spread to all corners. Dilembu Manku Rat sent with troops to Banjarmasin, Datu Bandan sent to the Macassar, Tidore, Seram and Galeier and His Majesty's son, Prince Prapen to Bali, Lombok and Sumbawa. Prapen first sailing to Lombok, where by force of arms he forced people to convert to Islam. After completing the task, Prapen sailing to Sumbawa and Bima. However, during the absence, because women still adhere to Pagan beliefs, the people of Lombok back to the pagan ideology. After his victory in Sumbawa and Bhima, Prapen back and assisted by Raden Raden Sumuliya and Salut, he set a new missionary movement achieved success this time.

Some people ran to the mountains, while others were conquered and converted to Islam and some others just conquered. Prapen leave Raden Sumuliya and Raden Salute to maintain the religion of Islam and he himself moved to Bali, where he began negotiations (without success) with Dewa Agung of Klungkung. " The Islamization process by Sunan Prapen reap the menggembirkan, until several years later the whole island of Lombok embraced Islam, except a few places that still maintain the old customs. While in the Kingdom of Lombok, a policy of King Rangkesari done by moving the royal center of the village of Banda Selaparang the proposal Patih Judah and Lion of Judah Patih. The transfer was carried out on the grounds lies the village of Selaparang more strategic and not easily attacked by the enemy than the previous position. According to Zakaria Fathurrahman, from the center of this new kingdom, a beautiful panorama of the Alas Strait can be enjoyed with a blue background from the tip of the island of Sumbawa mainland north to south with a single sweep of the view. Thus any suspicious movement in the middle of the ocean will soon be known. This region also has a rear area of hills and rice paddies are built neatly terraced up Lemor forest that has abundant water resources. Under the leadership of King Rangkesari, Selaparang kingdom evolved into an advanced empire in various fields. One is the development of a culture that later gave birth to many human beings as a treasure of the traditional heritage of Lombok society today. Dutch historian L. C. Van den Berg said that, the development of Languages Kawi strongly influence the formation of an agrarian nature of mind and the magnitude of the role of intellectuals in political social engineering in the archipelago, Fathurrahman Zakaria (1998) mentioned that the intellectual community is very aware Selaparang and Pejanggik Kawi language. Even then it can create its own script called jejawen Sasak. With the capital under their control Kawi language, literacy and language Sasak Sasak, then the pujangganya lot of writing, composing, adapting or copying of ancient Java man into lontar Sasak. Lontar meant, among other Kotamgama, Lapel Adam, Menak Berji, Rengganis and others. Even the poets are also a lot of copying and adapting Sufi teachings of the Walisongo, such lontar entitled Jatiswara, Lontar Nursada and Lontar Nurcahya. Even the tale-tale Malays were much copied and adapted, as Lontar Yusuf, Amir Hamzah Saga, Saga Sidik Orphan and so on. By reviewing lontar, according Fathurrahman Zakaria (1998) we will know the basic principles that guide the social engineering political and socio-cultural kingdom and its people. In political science, for example, Lontar Kotamgama sheet 6 sheets outline the nature and attitude of a king or leader, the Danta, Danti, Kusuma and Warsa. Danta means elephant tusks, when issued may not be included anymore. Danti means saliva, when it is thrown to the ground no longer possible licked. Kusuma means flowers, the flowers may not bloom twice. Warsa means rain, when it has fallen to earth not possibly climb back into the clouds. That is why a king or leader should not be one of the words. In addition, the existing lontar note that terms and phrases with the idea and meaning of the terms have been used in the field of politics and law, for example, said hanut (using the rights and obligations), footprint (stable), superimposed (bertata manners) , rit (orderly), teak (main), tuhu (seriously), devotion (devotion, loyalty) or integral (regular). In the economic field, such as itiq (saving), Loma (philanthropist), kencak (skilled) or genem (diligent). Progress was made royal kingdom Selaparang Gelgel in Bali was not happy. Gelgel who feel as heir to the Majapahit, to attack the kingdom Selaparang in 1520, but failed. Taking lessons from a failed attack on the 1520, cleverly memaanfaatkan Gelgel situasai to send their people infiltrated the settlement opened and rice fields in the south west side of Lombok is lush. Even mentioned, Gelgel take a new strategy by sending Dangkiang Nirartha to enter a new ideology of Hindu-Muslim singkretisme. Although no longer in Lombok, but his teachings have been able to influence some Muslim religious leaders who had recently embraced Islam. But the intention to conquer the Kingdom of the Kingdom Gelgel Selaparang internally stalled because of this Hindu kingdom also stagnated and weaknesses here and there.The arrival of the Dutch VOC in Indonesia who controlled the trade routes in the north has caused outrage Gowa, Gowa so close to the southern trade route by way of mastering the island of Sumbawa and Selaparang. Christianizing mission to stem the westward, the Gowa also occupied West Flores to build the Kingdom of Manggarai. This expansion causes Gelgel Gowa which began to rise was not happy. Gowa faced with a dilemma, they are concerned about the Netherlands utilizing Gelgel. Then reached an agreement with Gelgel through Saganing agreement in 1624 which, among others Gelgel it will not cooperate with the Netherlands and Gowa will release its protection over the backyard considered Selaparang Gelgel. However, there is a change of attitude after the death of Dalem Sagining replaced by Dalem Pemayun Anom. Increasingly clear that the polarization occurs, which is cooperating with Gowa Mataram in Java in order to face the Netherlands. Instead the Dutch succeeded in approaching Gelgel, so that in 1640, Gowa go back to Lombok. Even in 1648, one of Prince Selaparang Pejanggik breed named Mas Mas Pemayan Devel title Aji with Komala, was appointed viceroy, governor represents a kind of Gowa, based on the embers of the island of Sumbawa. Finally, the war between the Dutch Gowa inevitable. Gowa fought hard, especially under the leadership of Sultan Hasanuddin nicknamed the Roosters from the East. History records Bungaya Gowa must accept the agreement in 1667. Bungaya is a region located around the center of the Klungkung kingdom Gelgel that marks the close relation-Dutch Gelgel. Gelgel allegedly trying to exploit the situation by sending an expedition to the central government directly Selaparang in 1668-1669, but the expedition failed. Even Selaparang superior force against its neighbors, namely the Kingdom Gelgel, but at the same time, a new force has emerged from the west as well. The embryo of this power has been around since the beginning of the 15th century with the arrival of illegal immigrants from Karang Asem farmers (Bali) in waves, and established a colony in the Municipality of Mataram today. That power has been transformed as a small kingdom, the kingdom Pagutan and Pagesangan standing in 1622. But the danger is considered a major threat and will continue to appear all of a sudden the foreign powers, the Netherlands at any time to expand. Strength of near neighbors is ignored, because it is so strong Gelgel able to be broken. Because it stood before the royal authority in the region in the western part of this stand, anticipated only by placing a small army under the command of Patinglaga Deneq Wirabangsa. Beyond that there are other factors, especially border issues between Selaparang and Pejanggik a never-ending. This leads to the expected role of a more mutual between the two kingdoms are allied or throwing responsibility. In the raging battle to confront problems and attempt to force new growth from the west, then all of a sudden course, an important figure in the center of the kingdom, the royal duke himself by the name, Prince Arya Getas Banjar, suspected to disagree with the king. Raden Arya finally left Selaparang Getas Banjar and devoted emigration in the first Pejanggik Kingdom (Kingdom of Pejanggik) are located in the Regional District Pejanggik Jonggat On his own initiative, Prince Arya Banjar Getas can drag Pejanggik join an expedition Imperial Army landed Karang Asem which has been followed in West Lombok. Initially based on preliminary information obtained, it would mean the arrival of the expedition to attack the Kingdom Pejanggik. But in historical fact, the expedition had destroyed the Selaparang because the region can be conquered almost without resistance, because it was in very poor condition. This incident occurred in 1672. Center of the kingdom was destroyed and razed to the ground and the king and his family had been murdered. Selaparang fell just three years after facing the Netherlands. Fourteen years later, in 1686 the Kingdom Pejanggik scorch the earth by the Kingdom of Mataram Karang Asem. As a result of the defeat Pejanggik, then the kingdom of Mataram from sovereign became sole ruler in the island of Lombok after previously also burst into small kingdoms.

MALUKU

2012-04-25T16:05:00.002-07:00

Maluku or internationally known as the Moluccas is one of the oldest provinces in Indonesia. The capital is Ambon. In 1999, parts of Maluku province expanded into North Maluku province, with its capital in Sofifi. Maluku province composed of islands known as the Moluccan Islands.Maluku ethnic race was dominated by the Pacific Melanesian tribes who are allied with Fiji, Tonga and some of the islands scattered in the Pacific Ocean islands. Much stronger evidence that refers to the Maluku has ties with the traditions of the Pacific island nations, such as language, folk songs, food, household appliances and devices and instruments typical, example: Ukulele (which are also in the cultural traditions of Hawaii). They generally have dark skin, curly hair, big bones and a strong framework and a more athletic body profile compared with other ethnic groups in Indonesia, because they are ethnic islands where marine activities such as sailing and swimming are major activities for men. Since ancient times, many of those who already have blood mixed with other tribes, tribal marriage with Minahasa, Sumatra, Java, Madura, and even most of the Europeans (mainly the Netherlands and Portugal) and the Arab nation, India is very unusual given this area has mastered a foreign nation for 2300 years and gave birth to new offspring offspring, which are not purely Melanesian race again.

Because of the mingling of cultures and races with the Europeans is the Maluku is the only area of Indonesia which is ranked as the Mestizo. Even today many genera that originated in the Moluccas foreign nations like the Netherlands (Van Afflen, Van Room, De Wanna, De Kock, Kniesmeijer, Gaspersz, Ramschie, Payer, Ziljstra, Van der Weden and others) and Portugal (Da Costa, De Fretes, Que, Carliano, De Souza, De Carvalho, Pereira, Courbois, Frandescolli etc.). Also found the Spanish surname (Oliviera, Diaz, De Jesus, Silvera, Rodriguez, Montefalcon, Mendoza, De Lopez and others) and Arab (Al-Kaff, Al Chatib, Bachmid, Bakhwereez, Bahasoan, Al-Qadri, Alaydrus, Assegaff and others). Way of writing the original surname spelling Maluku still follow such Rieuwpassa foreign (read: Riupasa), Nikijuluw (read: Nikiyulu), Louhenapessy (read: Louhenapesi), Kallaij (read: Kalai) and Akyuwen (read: Akiwen). Today, the people of Maluku in Indonesia are not only alone but scattered in various countries around the world. Most of those who migrated out of the country due to various reasons though. One of the reasons that the classic is a massive movement of people of Maluku to Europe in the 1950s and remained there until now. Another reason is to get a good labih life, studying, mating-mengawin with other nations, who were later settled and have new generations of Maluku in the other hemisphere. Maluku expatriates can be found in communities large and concentrated in a few countries like the Netherlands, Britain, the United States, Russia, France, Belgium, Germany and many other continents.The language used in Maluku province is Ambon Malay, which is one dialect of Malay. Before the Portuguese menginjakan feet in Ternate (1512), the Malay language has been in the Moluccas and used as the language of commerce. Indonesian language, as in other regions of the Republic of Indonesia, is used in activities such as public official in schools and in government offices. The language used on the island of Seram, the mother islands (Nusa Ina / Island of the origin) of all the tribes in the provinces of Maluku and North Maluku are as follows: Wamale language (in West Seram) Alune language (in West Seram) Nuaulu language (used by tribes in the Seram Nuaulu south, between the bay and the Gulf of El-Paputih Telutih) Koa language (in the mountains and Kabauhari Manusela) Seti language (in use by the tribe of Seti, in North Seram and East Telutih) Gorom language (people who come down from the Seti and settles in East Seram) The majority of people in Maluku embraced Christianity and Islam. This is because the influence of Portuguese and Spanish colonization before the Dutch, who had spread Christianity and the influence of the Sultanate of Ternate and Tidore who spread Islam in the Moluccas and Arab traders on the coast of the island of Ambon and surrounding areas before. Places of worship in Maluku province in 2009 is the Mosque of 1188 pieces, 1597 pieces of the Church, Temple and Temple 4 10 pieces of fruit. While Members of the Islamic religion by 40.03 percent, 49.04 percent of Protestant Christians, Catholic Christians 10.06 percent, 0.20 percent Hindu and Buddhists 0.03 percent and the other 0.65.

Kalimantan (toponyms: is the world's third largest island located in the northern island of Java and the west of the island of Sulawesi. island of Borneo is divided into regions of Brunei, Indonesia (two thirds) and Malaysia (one third). island of Borneo known by the nickname "Island of a Thousand Rivers" because many rivers in this island. In ancient times, Borneo - which comes from the name of the sultanate of Brunei - is the name used by the colonial British and the Dutch to call this island as a whole, while Kalimantan is the name used by the inhabitants of the island's eastern region that now includes parts of Indonesia. [6] [7] the northern region of this island (Sabah, Brunei, Sarawak) in the Indonesian language formerly known as North Borneo, but in terms of North Borneo is now the northern part of East Kalimantan. In a broad sense "Borneo" covers the entire island is also known as Borneo, while in the narrow sense refers only Kalimantan region of Indonesia.The origins of the name of Borneo are not so clear. Kelamantan term used to describe a group in Sarawak who ate sago population in the north of the island. According Crowfurd, said Kalimantan is the name of a type of mango (Mangifera) so that the island of Borneo is the island of mango, but he added that the word does not smell of fairy tales and popular. Local mango called klemantan this until now widely available in rural areas and surrounding Ketapang, West Kalimantan.

According to C. Hose and Mac Dougall, "Borneo" is derived from the names of the six classes of the local tribes of the Iban (Sea Dayak), Kayan, Kenyah, Klemantan (Land Dayak), Murut, and Punan. In his essay, Natural Man, A Record from Borneo (1926), Hose explained that Klemantan is the new name used by the Malays. But according to Slamet Muljana, said not a word of Borneo native Malay loan words as well but said Malaya, who came from India melayu (Malay which means mountain).Another opinion says that of Borneo or Klemantan derived from the Sanskrit, Kalamanthana the island where the air is very hot or burning (cal: season, time and Manthan: burn). Because a vocal on stage and according to the custom Manthana not spoken, then uttered Kalmantan Kalamanthana then called native or Quallamontan Klemantan which eventually revealed to be Kalimantan. There are three major kingdoms (the parent) on the island of Borneo (Brunei / Barune) , Succadana (Tanjungpura / Bakulapura), and Banjarmasinn (Nusa Kencana). Eastern population of this island called Pulu K'lemantan, the Italians and Ukrainians know Calemantan: Калімантан. If judging from the language of Java, Kalimantan's name may mean "River Diamonds". Throughout its history, Metro is also known by other names. Singasari kingdom, for example, called it "Bakulapura" the colony is located in southwestern Borneo. Bakula tree in Sanskrit means headland (Mimusops elengi) so Bakulapura got a Malay name "Tanjungpura" shall mean the land / tree island promontory that is the name of the royal Tanjungpura is often used as the name of the island. While the Kingdom of Majapahit in the Kakawin Nagarakretagama written in 1365 called "Tanjungnagara" which also includes such well Saludung Philippines (Manila) and the Sulu archipelago.Saga Banjar, an ancient chronicle of South Kalimantan last chapter was written in 1663, but the script itself Banjar Tale comes from the manuscript with the text of a more ancient Malay kingdom on the Hindu, in it called the island of Borneo to the Malay name of the island "Hujung ground ". This land Hujung designation appears on the form of geomorphology of South Kalimantan region in ancient times in the form of a peninsula formed by a row of Meratus Mountains jutting into the Java Sea. This situation is identical to the shape of the tip of the State of Johor Straits is often called the "tip of the Land" in ancient Malay manuscripts. Peninsula Land is a bersetentangan Hujung with the Majapahit in East Java that then gets Tanjungnagara name means island-shaped headland / peninsula.The term "Golden Nusa" is the name of the island of Borneo in the ancient Javanese texts such as the prediction of the kingdom of King Jayabaya Kadiri (Panjalu), about to be mastered by the Japanese Javanese soil coming from the Nusa Kencana. It is evident before crossing over to Java, the Japanese army first master was the capital of Borneo Banjarmasin. Nusa often described as the Golden Land is a manifestation of Interior Sabrang Alengka the primitive abode of the giants on the other side of Java. In the Land of Land Dayak Sabrang there is mentioned in the Maha Parwa Fibers.ther titles include: "Island of the Banjar", Raden Paku (later known as Sunan Giri) is reported to have spread Islam to the island of Banjar, as well as the designation by the Gowa, Selaparang (Lombok), Sumbawa and Bima for the kingdoms of this bilateral relationship with the Sultanate of Banjar; "Big Java" name of Italian explorer Marco Polo or in Arabic; and "Jaba Daje" meaning "Java in the North (from the island of Madura) Madurese designation of a new island of Borneo in the 20th century

Republic of Indonesia Indonesia is the abbreviated RI or country in Southeast Asia, which is crossed by the equator and located between the continents of Asia and Australia as well as between the Pacific and Indian Ocean. Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic country consisting of 13 487 islands , therefore it is also known as Nusantara ("outer islands", in addition to Java, which is considered the center). With a population of 222 million people in 2006, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world and the largest Muslim country in the world, although not officially an Islamic state. Indonesia is a republic form of government, the House of Representatives, Regional Representative Council and the President is elected directly. Capital city is Jakarta. Indonesia borders Malaysia on Borneo island, with Papua New Guinea on New Guinea and East Timor on the island of Timor. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, and the territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. History of Indonesia is heavily influenced by other nations. Indonesia archipelago became an important trade region since at least the 7th century, when the kingdom of Palembang Srivijaya in religion and trade relations with China and India. Hindu kingdoms and Buddhism has been growing in the early centuries AD, followed by the traders who brought Islam, and various European powers fought each other to monopolize the spice trade in the Moluccas during the era of ocean exploration. Having been under Dutch rule, Indonesia which was called the Dutch East Indies declared its independence at the end of World War II. Indonesia's history has many obstacles, threats and challenges of natural disasters, corruption, separatism, a democratization process and a period of rapid economic change. From Sabang to Merauke, Indonesia consists of various ethnic, linguistic and religious groups. The Javanese are the largest ethnic group and most politically dominant. Indonesia's national motto, "Unity in Diversity" ("It varies, but remains one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country.
Besides having a dense population and vast territory, Indonesia has a natural area that supports the second largest biodiversity in the world. Indonesia is also a member of the UN and the only member who ever came out of the United Nations, which was on January 7, 1965, and joined again on September 28, 1966, and Indonesia and equipment are stated as a member of the 60th, the same membership since joining Indonesia on 28 September 1950. In addition to the United Nations, Indonesia is also a member of ASEAN, APEC, OIC, G-20 and will be a member of the OECD. The word "Indonesia" is derived from the Latin Indus, meaning "Indian" and nesos Greek word meaning "island". Thus, according to Indonesia means the territory of the Indian islands, or archipelago located in the Indies, which showed that the name was formed long before Indonesia became a sovereign state. [10] In 1850, George Earl, a British ethnologist, originally proposed the term Indunesia and Malayunesia to residents "Indian Archipelago or Malay archipelago". Students from Earl, James Richardson Logan, used Indonesia as a synonym of the word India Islands. However, Dutch academics writing in the media do not use the word Dutch East Indies Indonesia, but the terms Malay Archipelago (Maleische Archipel); Dutch East Indies (Nederlandsch Oost Indie), or Indian (Indie), Eastern (de Oost), and even Insulinde (this term was introduced in 1860 in the novel Max Havelaar (1859), written by Multatuli, the criticism of Dutch colonialism).
Since 1900, the name Indonesia became more common in academic circles outside the Netherlands, and Indonesian nationalist groups adopted it for political expression. Adolf Bastian from the University of Berlin popularize this name through the book Indonesien oder die Inseln des Malayischen Archipels, 1884-1894. Indonesia's first student to use it is Suwardi Suryaningrat (Ki Hajar Dewantara), when he established a news agency in the Netherlands with the name Indonesisch Press Bureau in 1913.
