Roth, Andrew | November 10, 1945 issue

add to cart   close window

During the past thirty years Dutch rule has been challenged with increasing fervor and strength by the swelling ranks of Indonesian nationalists. Roughly speaking, the nationalist movement has three main streams. One group favors a moderate, gradualist approach, with emphasis on native education and on slow progress toward independence in collaboration with the Dutch authorities. Another group is inspired by religious nationalism. Indonesia is 85 pet cent Moslem, and the powerful Moslem nationalist organizations ask their followers as Indonesian colonials to resist Dutch imperial rule and as Moslems to rise against the Christian "infidels."
