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.
