    Indonesia thrives on gang activity and foolish men that don’t know the true definition of gangster. Also, the Indonesian gangsters or preman seem to be in constant denial of what happened decades ago. This denial is mostly because of the fact that no one really questioned them of their wrongdoings until now. When they sit and actually think about what happened and the endless families that they separated because of alleged communism, most realize what they did was wrong. Some on the other hand will not realize this because they were raised in that way of thinking and their minds are not as malleable anymore.

  • Introduction of Hinduism and Buddhism in Indonesia

    712 Words  | 2 Pages

    India came to Indonesia and introduced Hinduism and Buddhism to Indonesia which greatly changed Indonesia’s religious belief. When India came to Indonesia 2000 years ago, they introduced Hinduism and Buddhism to Indonesia in a peaceful manner. Before India came, Indonesians were animist and dynamist who worship animals and ordinary things, and believe they obtain special powers in them. Indonesians worshiped the spirit of their ancestors through memorial stones called Menhirs. After India came with their religion Hindu and Buddhist, Indonesians use stones to build a monument used to prepare a sacrificial offering to the Hindu god, usually in a form of an animal. Also introduced was Buddhism and the 2 sections, Hinayan and Mahayan. This happened around the 1st century. The Indians then built temples, monuments, and other artifacts. Some include; the Ganesha statue, a first century Hindu relic, the 3 rough plinths found in the early 400 AD, a gift to the Brahmin priest (Hindu priest) in the early 400 AD, Candi Badut found in 760 AD (a Hindu goddess of time and death), Borobudur and Prambanan found in 8th – 9th century at a large Hindu temple complex near Jogjakarta. That’s not all. India also taught Indonesia about their religion which made Indonesia’s Sriwijaya Kingdom the centre of Buddhism teaching. That attracted a lot of pilgrim and scholars throughout Asia. Another influence is to our culture which had a lot of root from Hinduism and Buddhism culture. The peak of their influence was called Indonesia’s Classical (cultural) period. Today, most of Bali still follow India’s religion and culture. As you can see, Hinduism and Buddhism made a huge impact to Indonesia’s religion which then had an impact to other aspects such as education and culture. Indonesia is known for its cultural diversity which was absorbed from India. Indonesia is constantly reminded by their influence because it still lives until now. Without them coming, Indonesia would have a different culture, different relics, and different beliefs.
