In 1872, when the Netherlands was busy preparing to attack Aceh, Multatuli sadly recalled a confession when speaking at a meeting in Wiesbaden. He said: "When the Dutch fought for their independence from Spain, the kingdom of Aceh was the first to recognize the Netherlands as an independent nation. However, now the Netherlands is the only country that wants to eliminate Aceh's sovereignty. How honey reciprocated by poison".
About two centuries earlier, on August 23, 1601, a third Dutch group arrived led by Commissioner Gerard de Roy and Admiral Laurens Bicker with four ships (Zeelandia, Middelborg, Langhe Bracke and Sonne) at the Port of Aceh. Their arrival was at the behest of Prince Maurits. Both received orders to give a letter and several gifts to Sultan Ala'uddin Ri'ayat Syah Saidi Mukammil, The Sultan of Aceh. This letter was written in Spanish which contained Prince Maurits' remorse for the bad behavior of the Dutch people in Aceh; requesting improved relations between the Netherlands and Aceh; willingness to pay compensation to make up for the previous bad behavior of the Dutch in Aceh, and to deliver various gifts.
Furthermore, the Sultanate of Aceh instead sent delegates to directly observe the Netherlands. On 20 July 1602 a group of Dutch ships together with the Aceh delegation arrived safely in Zeeland (the Netherlands). The departure of the Acehnese envoy to the Netherlands, it can be noted that the sovereign kingdom first recognized the birth of a newly sovereign Dutch state at that time by de jure and de facto is the kingdom of Aceh. In fact, the Dutch economy and international relations were greatly helped by Aceh. Therefore, Multatuli strongly denounced the Dutch action on Aceh.
Apparently Teuku Oemar was very famous at the time so that a game was made with his name. Het Toekoe Oemar Spel, with the narrative "surrounding or capturing Teuku Oemar". This game was first made in 1898, exactly a year before the fall of Teuku Oemar.
By the Netherlands Teuku Oemar was called and written as "veraad", the traitor.
Seemly The Dutch had forgotten that Teuku Oemar was an Acehnese. Is not it precisely when with the Netherlands that title should be pinned.
How strange. How could the Dutch demand fish to be unfaithful to water and want it elsewhere? How could they want Teuku Oemar to fight his own countrymen and seize his own bloody land to fight on the Dutch side?
Teritorial Warfare became the strategic theory of Indonesian fighting after the first Dutch Military Aggression. The Netherlands is indeed superior in weapons and combat. But the Netherlands did not win the war.
Sound n spiritual chanting montage inspire from a major war epic under two religions and two Wangsa in the Archipelago, Syailendra and Sanjaya, Shiva (HIndu) with Buddhism.
Beyond the endless conflict, Majapahit succeeded in establishing its glory on two legs which underpinned its law through two institutions of religious leaders. Namely, the "Dharmmadhyaksa ring Kasaiwan Dang Acaryya Iswara", for Shiva religion (Hinduism), and the "Dharmmadhyaksa ring Kasaugatan Dang Acaryya Sastraraja", for Buddhism.
As imperium Majapahit became fundamentally powerfull because the law was able to guarantee justice for everyone. And, justice is trusted because the law is taken according to religious wisdom.
It is a quotation from an Old Javanese poem Kakawin Sutasoma, written by Mpu Tantular during the reign of the Majapahit empire sometime in the 14th century, under the reign of King Rājasanagara, also known as Hayam Wuruk.
It is said that the well-known Buddha and Shiva are two different substances. They are indeed different, yet how is it possible to recognise their difference in a glance, since the truth of Jina (Buddha) and the truth of Shiva is one. They are indeed different, but they are of the same kind, as there is no duality in Truth.
