Abstract

This article examines the conferring of honorary doctorates in Indonesian universities, which has increased significantly in the last twenty years, 2000-2020. This research applies the document analysis method; data obtained from public documents from government, universities, magazines, and newspapers. Normatively, the university conferred the Doctor Honoris Causa to individuals with outstanding service or work and contributed to science, technology, culture, humanity, and society. The study reveals that the Indonesian authorities have issued three amended regulations regarding honorary doctorates between 2000-2020. This policy provides increased flexibility to universities in determining the awarding of honorary degrees compared to previous regulations. This research has uncovered an evolutionary trajectory of shifting away from awarding the honorary doctorates to the academic community towards non-academic and even political circles and public officials. Such a policy or practice invites criticisms that this signifies an exchange of interests between campus leaders and the power establishment in Indonesia. The analysis of this research reveals that with the decentralization of power during the post-reformation era, there is a transformation of institutional logic of higher education from recognizing knowledge advancement and scientific contributions of members of intelligentsia towards empowering the legitimacy of ruling establishments, especially among politicians and powerful public officials.

Abstract

This study traces the formation, development and decline of the Deli Hindu Sabba organization in the city of Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This article examines the emergence of Indian Tamil community organizations in the pre-independence period of Indonesia. This paper uses historical research methods to reconstruct events in the past. Data obtained through literature study from various documents. The data obtained were processed using critical methods to determine the authenticity and validity of the data obtained. The analytical method used is descriptive narrative to describe the chronology of events and aspects that affect the course of events. The study found that the Deli Hindu Sabba organization had its ups and downs: it was founded in 1913 and had developed since, but it stopped conducting activities in 1918 until Kumarasamy took over this organization in 1928. After that, Kumarasamy was pivotal role in the development and activities of this organisation. These activities included providing free education with Tamil language guidance, Indian Boy Scout and Mother Paguthi to empower Tamil community in Medan. Besides that, various arts and sports activities were also carried out. However, the organization suffered a setback in 1942 when former chairman of organization converted into Buddhism, making the organization lacked the important figures that could become its spearhead. In addition, it is the same year of the Japanese occupation which had banned all organizations in Indonesia during that time.
