Biography of freedom fighters
From Merdeka
I would like to propose that the government publish
biographies of freedom fighters like H.O.S. Cokroaminoto and
before him Wahidin Sudiro Husodo, through the ministry of
education and culture, considering their invaluable achievements.
With his trade union, H.O.S. Cokroaminoto established the
Partai Serikat Islam Indonesia (Indonesian Islam Union Party)
banned by the Dutch government. It was this party that gave birth
to the two Indonesians who proclaimed Indonesia's independence on
Aug. 17, 1945: Sukarno and Mohamad Hatta. There are many more
freedom fighters to write about.
The government should publish a book containing the
biographies of the freedom fighters. This is due to the fact that
there is no such book in the provincial libraries. There are
still many books printed by the Dutch, in which the writers
oppose the struggle of the Indonesian nation.
