UNITY
IN DIVERSITY
We
see that actually Indonesia is a country with so many cultures and diversities.
Even, in Dutch and Japanese colonialism, Indonesian tried to against them by
their own self. Every single region used their own way to fight them. But this
is actually didn’t give any meaningful results until Indonesian realized that
the most important thing to be freedom and against the colonialism was to
unite. Budi Oetomo, was the very first Indonesian organization which is
established in 20th May 1908, and was marked as a National Awakening
Day until now. Since Budi Oetomo established, Indonesian started to against all
of the colonialism together as unite.
But
after Indonesia got the freedom, we can see nowadays that most of Indonesian
started to reject the diversities which are actually become the strength of
Indonesia itself. Some groups want to stand independently and out from
Indonesia because they think that Indonesia doesn’t give the worthy life for
them. They use religion and tribe as a reason to stand independently from
Indonesia. We know that so many example like the separation of Timor Timur from
Indopnesia, Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, Republik Maluku Utara, and the hottest news
today, NII or Indonesian Islamic Country, an organization which expect that
Indonesia should be an Islamic country, in fact there are at least 5 strong
religions in Indonesia. This is such a ridiculous thing if we force our
religion to somebody else. This kind of
situation shouldn’t exist if we all realize the diversities in Indonesia are
way to unite the society.
Indonesia
is known as a country which can live in a harmony among diversities. So if some
people do not like with the diversities, they must move out of Indonesia, and
do not force their bad willing in Indonesia.
To
celebrate the 103rd of National Awakening Day, let’s create a sense
of unity and not to divorce just because differences between us. Make the
differences as a media to unite us
