Abstract

The relationship between India and the Indonesian archipelago has spanned thousands of years, reflecting a rich exchange of culture, religion and trade. Since ancient times, Indian traders have been in contact with the Indonesian archipelago, bringing with them influential commodities and ideas, including Hinduism and Buddhism. The resulting acculturation process resulted in a unique civilisation in the Indonesian archipelago, which is reflected in art, architecture and literature. In addition, shipping in the Strait of Malacca and its surrounding waters became an important route for the spice trade, further strengthening economic ties between the two regions. This paper will examine India's influence on Indonesian archipelago culture from an Indian perspective. The research uses qualitative methods to explore the historical relationship between India and the Indonesian archipelago, focusing on the cultural, religious and trade exchanges that have taken place over thousands of years. The most obvious Indian influence on the Indonesian archipelago is a matter of belief, from which came several other influences such as writing, language, architecture and art. Furthermore, Indian influence is not only found in the Indonesian archipelago, but some findings from the Indonesian archipelago are also found in India.

Abstract

Parmalim is a religious tradition of the Toba Batak people, which continues to thrive in Samosir Regency. This study analyses Parmalim adherents in Samosir Regency during the period 1965–2017 and examines the impact of state policies on the social life and civil rights of this community. The methods employed are historical in nature, comprising heuristics (archival research), oral interviews and a literature review, followed by source criticism, interpretation and the construction of historiography. The research findings indicate that Parmalim adherents have faced administrative obstacles since the implementation of Presidential Decree No. 1 of 1965 and Law No. 23 of 2006, resulting in difficulties in processing civil registration documents (ID cards, family cards, marriage certificates, and birth certificates). Furthermore, the Parmalim community also faces social stigma that views their religious practices as deviant. The struggle of followers of indigenous beliefs reached a crucial juncture with Constitutional Court Ruling No. 97/PUU-XIV/2016, which was delivered in 2017. This ruling opened the way for followers of indigenous beliefs to include their religious identity in civil registration documents
