Grasp And Restore The Glory Of The Indonesian Archipelago

The archipelago is an area that has abundant wealth, its natural resources provide incomparable prosperity, the demographic bonus of its people becomes the new power of the world economy. Since the dawn of human civilization, the region It has been inhabited by various high civilizations. Lembang Bujang in Malaysia, Mount Padang in Cianjur Indonesia, to Lendu in Sulawesi are evidence of advanced civilizations in the past. After that emerged the kingdom of Srivijaya in Sumatra, Melaka in Peninsular Malaysia, Majapahit in Java, to the many sultanates that existed across the archipelago from the past to Australia and New Zealand and the entire south pacific archipelago. 

The global wealth of the archipelago provoked the colonizers to dominate it, for more than 3.5 centuries this region was under the colony of other nations. All of its natural wealth was robbed, its thoughts and civilization were destroyed until only the mentality of the colonized nation remained. Entering the 19th century, Nusantara Raya rose from colonialism, reorganizing a new life in an independent world. The progress of the civilization of the Great Archipelago is starting to be felt. In fact, according to the predictions of world leaders, this region will become a new power of civilization and world economy and will again rule the world over the territories of the archipelago which were divided by the colonial nation under the banner of the Greater Archipelago. In the Javanese concept of statehood in the 13th-15th centuries, the king was the "King of the Gods": the reigning king was also an incarnation of a god. Because of that, his domain exuded the concept of a god's power. 

The Majapahit kingdom can be used as an example. The country is divided into three regions: The Great Country is the area around the royal capital where the king reigns. Overseas are areas on the island of Java and its surroundings whose culture is still similar to the Great State, but is already in the "border area". Seen from this point of view, Madura and Bali are "foreign" regions. Lampung as well as Palembang are also considered "foreign" areas. Nusantara, which means "another island" (outside of Java)[6] is an area outside the influence of Javanese culture but is still claimed as a conquered area: its rulers have to pay tribute. 

Gajah Mada stated in the Palapa Oath: Sira Gajah Mada pepatih amungkubumi tan ayun amukita palapa, sira Gajah Mada: Seagrass huwus lost to Nusantara ingsun amukti palapa, seagrass lost to the Desert ring, Seram ring, Tanjungpura, Haru ring, Pahang ring, Dompo, Bali ring, Sunda, Palembang, Tumasik, samana ingsun amukti palapa. The translation is: "He Gajah Mada Patih Amangkubumi doesn't want to break his fast. He is Gajah Mada, "If I have beaten the other islands, I (will) break my fast. If I beat Desert, Seram, Tanjung Pura, Haru, Pahang, Dompo, Bali, Sunda, Palembang, Tumasik, that's how I (will) break my fast." 

The Negarakertagama book lists the "Nusantara" areas, which at present can be said to cover most of modern Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara, parts of Sulawesi and the surrounding islands, parts of the Maluku Islands, and West Papua) plus the territory of Malaysia. , Singapore, Brunei and a small part of the southern Philippines. Morphologically, this word is a compound word taken from the Old Javanese language nusa ("island") and between (other/across).
