      It makes ton of sense that the diversity of languages is within New Guinea because the people there are remnant of the old lineage of human migrations during paleolithic setting in the most abundant fertile island of New Guinea in comparison to barren dessert of Australia. Sure there are other Indonesian Islands but they were replaced by the Austronesians and the others roughly just around 4 thousands years ago compared to tens thousands years ago aka paleolithic

    As a Filipino dude Indonesia is almost everything I wish my country could be (excpet for the 'x' times more islands and and even more vast) but cannot afford to do so due to our own different geographi and historical circumstances to be able to be "that country everybody is chill with":
    • because they're not directly in between two powerful countries trying to use their country as a base to influnce/ manipulate/ or just plain strangle the hell out of the other country;
    • not living in a very high-maintenance geographic location were food production is always getting limited by typhoons no matter how fertile the soil is, infrastructure getting "reset buttoned" by earthquakes as much as in the Philippines;
    • the colonizers not generally shoving their faith and their lifestyle to the locals' face so they get to keep their own original culture and not antagonize eachother (Mindanao);
    • and can live normally being themselves and not constantly & toxically trying be "one with the cOoL kIdZ in the block" like trying to be western and having a woke "protagonism complex" (tryna feel like the bida/good guys of a movie) even though we can't afford to and should'nt really be doing so in the first place (although this helps our tourism industry but sometimes the attention seeking backfires at times).
    It would be interesting for Indonesia to be a regional power that the Philippines can live along with since they are a lot more chill and would like to see itself "helping & hanging out with its long lost cousin" (compared to the two powerful countries trying to influence my country and always tends to think that the world revolves around them), but Indonesia is also a HUUUUUGE economic competitor because whatever the Philippines have, Indonesia terrifyingly has it like 4x even more (export crops, rice terraces, manufacturing, & more exotic culture for tourism, etc.)
    But I don't want the Philippines to go toxic on its cousin, so my country naturally (sometimes toxically) needs to seek trade and attention elsewhere for its own & everybody's good.

    As an Indonesian, the situation of secession could be happening if things were to go wrong but for now, our sense of Indonesian identity is stronger than regional identity. We usually don't view things in a concrete A or B, whether it's culture, languages, and ethnic backgrounds. Chinese Indonesians will see themselves more as an Indonesian rather than Chinese, ask a Minang/Batak/Ambon/Manado/Bali/etc. person, they will reply they are Indonesian first then their background (ofc if u are a foreigner asking). I personally am kinda fed up with the whole idea that regionalism is still stronger than a nationalist identity because throughout my experience talking with many different people from different backgrounds, they are really friendly and identify themselves as Indonesian. Of course, things will look differently if we talk about religion and Papua issues but overall, Indonesia is more united than ever and will continue to be more and more united in the near future.

I mean our main slogan is "in differences we are united" which is from Majapahit era writting, as such Indonesian even before colonialism have strong relation between each ethnic groups.

    As others have pointed it out, ethnic issues are not exactly the most crucial one in Indonesia. Sure discriminations happen but that happens everywhere. But if you ask an everyday Indonesian what they think about that other race/culture that resides in the other island, they won’t go barbaric and deride that race/culture. In fact, one of the proudest thing to be an Indonesian is to have that diversity. So treating Indonesia as if it’s the Balkans is not exactly accurate. Our sense of unity is one of a kind, perhaps due to emphasis on nationalism and the need for it in order to live in such diverse environment.

    As an Indonesian, I want to explain some correction:
    1) 3:49 It's not entirely true about food production is centered among coastline of 3 major Island, especially in Java. Here rice field is way deep into interior of the island. Northern part of Java island is mostly plain with some hills, having a most fertile soil in the country thanks to the volcanism nearby. For the island of Sumatra and Borneo, food production mainly nearby a river since a soil in deep interior isn't really good for planting rice (instead we planting palm oil there)
    2) 6:45 By some account is still debated if Majapahit really conquered Nusantara archipelago. Other theory explain if Majapahit mainly used diplomatic power to having control overseas (by having an allies, or vassal states) since they don't even manage to conquered their neighbour in the backyard a.k.a Sundanese (though they manage to conquered Bali with military force)
    3) 15:05 Is incorrect to calling inhabitants of Java as "Javanese", they're one of major ethnic mainly living in Central & Eastern Java. There's other major ethics living there need to be considered: Sundanese, Betawi, Maduranese, and other smaller one. Sundanese and Betawi mainly live in Western Java (while Maduranese living in Eastern Java alongside with Javanese)

Usually they're mad due to giving lots of resources to the central goverment but gain only a little. From few separatist movement we managed to solved 2 of them: Free Timor Timur (by giving them Independence as it should be) and GAM/Free Aceh Movement (by giving them more autonomy and all GAM leaders agreed with that in 2005)

      Where there's one central state being the trading hub for the surrounding kingdoms & tribes.
      That's why Majapahit could expand so quickly under Gajahmada period despite low number of battle happened under his Sumpah Palapa period.
      This is also the origin of the keywords "Jawa adalah Kunci" first being popularized because South East Asia Silk road trade route back then requires you to go to Java first before products continue its journey.

    The emphasis on separatism is far from accurate though. Those flags the video showed bearing the names "Minahasa, Batak, Dayak, Flores" are completely fictional.
    I'm a Minahasan Christian, AND INDONESIAN, and I've never seen that flag bearing the name of my ethnic group before. The only separatist movement that exists or had existed are the Papua and Maluku ones. The Maluku was already defeated, and there has never been any more uprisings or issues leading to seccession.
    I think when foreigners (especially Europeans) look at Indonesia at a glance, and see that we have a lot of things to differentiate between ourselves, they tend to think of the worst is to come. But as a matter of fact, the opposite is true. We are proud of our ethnic backgrounds and we are proud Indonesians. We accept, understand, and are proud of our diversity; and the fact that we are able to coexist, cooperate, and even assimilate in tolerance is a God-given grace. We are grateful for it, we are grateful to be born Indonesian

      I tend to disagree. There was barely any shared history, and the way the colonizers (not only the Dutch, btw) would treat the locals varies vastly between region to region. For example, the plantation slavery in Java would be so different towards Dutch-Minahasan relations in Sulawesi due to the vast difference in local hierarchy, culture, and natural resources. Not even all regions and ethnicities considered themselves colonized. For example, as much as I love West Papua being part of Indonesia, that was completely a political maneuver on Soekarno’s side.
      Ethnicity-wise, let’s be real, a ton of us, collectively, dislike each other. If anything, that’s a testament of how effective the Indonesian nationalist propaganda has been (hey, it’s worked on me too) given the short time it’s been around.

  • @pandepanda31

    The heavy emphasis on separatism, in the end, is quite jarring. East Timor wasn't supposed to be part of Indonesia in the first place. Supported by the U.S, Indonesia under Soeharto invaded Timor Leste in 1975 under the pretext of anti-communism and decided to eat it. They were an occupied independent country. Separatism in Indonesia is not that big of an issue thanks to the presence of a lingua franca, increasing federalism, and heavy investment in the outer islands. Sacrificing its lust rainforest for development, handling the impact of climate change, creeping fundamentalism, and managing its human resources are more debated topics, especially in the next 50 years.
    But! This doesn't excuse nor discredit the lack of national discourse on the ever-present racial, ethnic, and religious discrimination. Things are still rotting. The point is, that different groups of people can still make compromises and live together without the need for an ethnostate. Civic and constitutional nationalism exist y'all.

      tetep pesimis gua😅 itu kan skenario kalo growthnya stabil 5% sampai senggaknya 2040 yang bagi gua susah kalo nggak immpossible. harusnya minimal 7% kalau mau keluar dari middle income trap, tapi seenggaknya pemerintah sekarang nyadar pentingnya infrastruktur jadi masih bisa berharap growthnya naik lebih dari 5% di masa depan.

    just a slight but important correction: the strait of Malacca is shared with Peninsular Malaysia and (sort of by extension) Singapore. So Indonesia does not get full autonomy in things that do and do not pass through it. In fact, the busiest ports in the strait are all Malaysian, only eclipsed by the Port of Singapore (which is technically not part of the Malacca strait). Indonesia's busiest port isnt even in the Malacca strait, its off the Jakarta Bay and typically cuts through the sea between Jawa and Sumatra.

      Indonesians already traded with indigenous Australians, it was Makassar people who made trade contacts, Makassar people also teach many things to the natives of the Australian continent, Makassar people look for sea cucumbers to sell to China, It's amazing that even though the Makassarese were able to conquer Australia but they didn't do it, they preferred to trade while teaching something to the natives of the Australian continent, But when the Europeans came, the Europeans began to carry out many colonial policies by levying taxes on the Makassarese, And continue to increase tax rates, until the Makassar people feel no more profit from selling sea cucumbers, from there the contact between the Makassar people and the indigenous inhabitants of the Australian continent was cut off, then after that the European colonizers made the Australian continent a dumping ground for British criminal convicts, That's when the horror experienced by the indigenous people of the Australian continent, Makassar people are still remembered and considered brothers by the indigenous people of the Australian continent, Come to Darwin's territory and meet the Aboriginal people, Ask them about Makassar people, they will tell you many things about Makassar people, one of which is about the painting of Makassarese outrigger boats

Also I myself feel like british india raj and dutch east indies were similar due to the corporation running both but india was ran under direct order from london while indonesia was ran from jakarta. One thing you did not mention in the video is that indeed the dutch owned indonesia but indirectly through voc that was controlled by people who had stockes in it only when voc went bankrupt due to financing wars to seize controll of spices' monopoly the dutch state took over indonesia and had appointed a governor to run it.

    3. Bahasa Indonesia
    etc.

    East Timor is never the part of us even historically is never under the shadow of Dutch colonial empire, it was Portuguese, and we made a mistake for colonialized it because of cold war situation (fear of rising communistic regime at East Timor that would bring us on the same situation with Cuba although it's actually not much communistic and moreso socialism or left leaning regime but Cold War mentality became the motivation for Timor Leste invasion). Our true mistake was Sipadan and Ligitan which is now Malaysian island.
    The thing that i fear the most is the rise of fundamentalism (Indonesia has to be kept as secular at all cost or this country will be separated thus your point of islam as a uniting element for Indonesia is invalid, we had a constitution named Piagam Jakarta which was included an obligation to believe in Islamic god but the constitution changed after proclamation to be more accepting towards other religion, but the problem is our freedom of religion is stricted to 6 state religions and not taking account to Atheism and Agnosticism. It's not fully freedom of beliefs) and i got a mixed feeling when it comes to enviromental situation, people need to feed and a place to settle so the enviromental change on forest regions to be villages or cities is inevitable, unless if you want to genocide us, but the idea of eco-city or eco-society can make balance between the needs of urbanism and environmental preservation. Human resources are also the big issue, we still need to reform education and provide more infrastructures such as network infrastructures, schools, streets, bridges, electricities since there are still many of remote areas that haven't got electricity and proper connection from school to the village, not to mention the quality of electricity itself.

    Indonesia is used to be referred as the Southeast Asian version of India due to many exact things (both pros and cons): large population, diverse religion and ethnic groups, a growing economy, and similarly, being embroiled in many troubles relating to territory, religion or people. Indonesia's rise is, akin to India, very turbulent at best, due to its history of struggling to connect all parts together. In some way, if India can rise, then Indonesia can, too.

    Quite a 'Murica-centric view. Nationalized industries and centralized control was important to keep the islands united and fend off any colonial takeovers. In this aspect Indonesia was far too vulnerable compared to India in the same 1950s+ era. Somewhere middle he says the economy should be more liberalized and then at the end says they can follow the chinese state-owned industries export model. Not like I'm advocating for any, but the respective country should apply a customized strategy considering its own geo-strategic position. And not be like "unregulated free-markets go brr".
    As usual at the end he said Indonesia was "unified" into a country by the dutch, even though once upon a time, the Majapahits ruled the same place as well.
