Abstract

This article critically examines the claim made by Majelis Taklim Darul Hasyimi that KRT Sumadiningrat, a Yogyakarta Palace figure who died during the Geger Sepehi incident in 1812, is Habib Hasan bin Thoha Bin Yahya. Despite historical primary sources not supporting this assertion, the claim persists. Utilizing primary sources from historical documents, chronicles, and national booklets at the Yogyakarta Palace, the article thoroughly investigates the identities of both KRT Sumadiningrat and Habib Hasan bin Thoha Bin Yahya. Analyzing crucial human aspects such as birth, parentage, marriage, and death, the research concludes that KRT Sumadiningrat is not Habib Hasan bin Thoha Bin Yahya, and vice versa. The article argues that the claim represents a distortion of history orchestrated by certain religious groups in society. In the context of Indonesia's post-212 Movement era characterized by heightened religious sentiments, this distortion may gain more credibility than historical accuracy.

Abstract

Over the past two decades, a controversial historical claim has circulated asserting that Kanjeng Raden Tumenggung (KRT) Sumodiningrat, a prominent official of the Yogyakarta Sultanate who died during the Sepehi War of 1812, was in fact a habib named Hasan bin Yahya, whose tomb is alleged to be located in Lamper Kidul, Semarang, while the tomb in Jejeran is attributed to his brother, Ahmad bin Yahya. This study investigates the genealogy and construction of this claim by posing the central question of how, when, and through what actors and discursive mechanisms the claim emerged and gained legitimacy. Employing a genealogical approach grounded in historical and anthropological scholarship and complemented by a Foucauldian discourse analysis, the study examines both diachronic continuities and synchronic social processes. Methodologically, the research relies on a critical literature review and netnography to trace the diffusion of narratives across books, academic writings, and digital media platforms. The findings indicate that the claim first appeared around 2005 and expanded significantly through publications and online broadcasts, particularly YouTube, gaining authority through endorsement by a nationally influential Islamic scholar and his network. The study concludes that this narrative represents an organized, refined, and strategic form of historical claiming that intertwines scholarship, religious authority, and digital media.
