The general statement is that minority groups have always been discriminated against by the majority, plus Laos itself carries out communism as the state ideology. In general, the discourse on the equality of communists with atheists is quite popular in the community. Not only labeled as having no religion, a state labeled as communist is synonymous with not supporting the existence of an ethnicity or a religious community. This article aims to explain the history and life of Muslim groups in Laos as a minority community group. This research is a historical research, where in collecting data sources using literature study techniques, and data analysis using a political history approach. The results of the study show that Laos, which is geographically located in the middle of mainland Indochina, makes it a crossroads of culture and religion. The political turmoil in the Indochina region and the civil war in Laos had an impact on the number of Laos' Muslim population. Pathet Lao's victory over the civil war resulted in an authoritarian communist government, causing the Muslim population to shrink. The 1991 Lao Constitution amendment in 2003 brought a breath of fresh air with religious freedom to the Lao people. Although there are still problems with human and financial resources in developing the community and da'wah, Laotian Muslims live quietly in a communist country. Islam in Laos is developing slowly but quietly within its limitations.

The Minangkabau epic Cindua Mato embodies values of courage, justice, and resistance against oppression. During the late colonial period, this narrative evolved into a vital medium for galvanizing resistance and fortifying collective consciousness. This study analyzes the utilization of the Cindua Mato narrative between 1922 marking its early institutionalization as a modern fundraising tool and 1939, the final era of cultural mobilization prior to the Pacific War. Employing historical methods with primary sources from the Delpher archives, the research examines how this folklore served as a socio-political instrument in both the Minangkabau highlands and the diaspora in Batavia. The findings reveal a multifaceted application of the narrative: the elite utilized it to legitimize political sovereignty and cultural diplomacy, while the masses embraced it as a tool for inter-ethnic solidarity and nationalistic mobilization. A crucial bridge exists between the epic's "heroism" and functional "social charity" through the principle of gotong royong (mutual cooperation). The narrative’s emphasis on sacrifice was recontextualized by movement organizers as a collective call for humanitarian fundraising and patriotic resistance. By purchasing tickets to these performances, the public was indirectly yet actively involved in supporting indigenous organizations and social welfare. This study underscores the efficacy of folklore as a strategic resource for community mobilization and identity preservation in a colonial context.
