“Indonesia Raya” means “Great Indonesia”
(1928)
The colonial policy of the day was “divine & rule”. It
was a policy the deliberately aggravated language, ethnic, cultural, and
religious differences amongst the people.
The birth of Indonesia Raya marked the beginning of
Indonesia nationalist movements. Composer: Wage Rudolf Supratman.
At the 2nd Indonesian Youth Congress on October
28th, 1928 in Batavia (Jakarta). It was the moment when Indonesia
Youth of different ethnic, language, religious, and cultural backgrounds
resolutely pledged allegiance to:
- One native land, Indonesia
- One nation, the Indonesian nation
- One unifying language, the Indonesian language
Soon the national song, which called for the unity of
Indonesia, became popular. It was echoed at Indonesian political rallies, where
people stood in solemn observance. The song seriously aroused national
consciousness among the people throughout the archipelago Indonesia’s National
Anthem.
Elaboration of PANCASILA (The Five Principles)
1.
Belief in the One Supreme
God / Belief in the One and Only God
=>Reaffirms the Indonesian people’s belief that
God does exist.
It believes in life after death. It
emphasizes the pursuit of sacred value will lead the people to a better life in
the hereafter.
=>
The principle is embodied in Article 29 (1) of
the 1945 Constitution and reads “The
state shall be based on the belief in the One and Only God”
2.
Just and Civilized
Humanity
Just => requires that human beings be treated with due regard to their dignity as God creatures. It
emphasizes that the Indonesian people do not tolerate physical or spiritual oppression of human
beings by their own people or by any other nation.

3.
The Unity of
Indonesia
=> Concept of nationalism, of love for one’s nation
+ motherland.
It envisages the need to always
foster national unity + integrity.
Pancasila nationalism demands that
Indonesians avoid feelings of superiority on ethical grounds, for regions of
ancestry + color of skin. In 1928 Indonesian Youth pledged to have 1 country, 1
nation, I language, while the Indonesian coat of arm enshrines the symbol of
“Bhineka Tunggal Ika” which means “Unity in Diversity”.
Social differences in daily life
should never affect national unity and integrity.
4.
Democracy Guided by
The Inner Wisdom in The Unanimity Arising Out of Deliberation/ Democracy Wisely
Guided By a Wisdom of Deliberation Among Representative
5.
Social Justice for
The Whole of The People of Indonesia
This principle calls for the equitable spread of welfare to the entire population, not in a static but in a
dynamic and progressing way. This means that all the county’s natural resources and the national
potentials should be utilized for the greater possible good and happiness of the people.

=> Social Justice implies protection of the weak,
but protection should not decay them work. On the contrary, they should work
according to their abilities and fields of activity. Protection should present
willful treatment by the strong and ensure the rule of justice.
They are the sacred value of
PANCASILA which, at a cultural principle, should always be respected by every
Indonesian because it is now the ideology of Indonesia and the life philosophy
of the Indonesian people.
