Abstract

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Confucianism have a complex relationship in Indonesia. Therefore, this article focuses on the relationship between human rights principles and religious traditions that consider the importance of the UDHR for Confucians. It is also related to the fulfilment of the rights to freedom of religion and education, and it focuses on the case of the elimination of Confucian religious education during the New Order in Indonesia. This article is compiled using historical methods. The primary sources used are Supreme Council of the Confucian Religion (MATAKIN) correspondence with the government officials. The study results show that the Confucian community uses the UDHR as a promotional medium for Confucian religious education in schools. In addition, they fight for Confucianism to gain legal recognition as a religion.

Abstract

The conflict between Hindu Indonesia or Indonesian Hinduism and Hare Krishna movements in Indonesia is between two religious groups that are not solely about theological differences but also political. Under Parisada Hindu Dharma Indonesia (PHDI), Indonesian Hinduism gained recognition from the state after making several adjustments and changes. The entanglement of Indonesian Hinduism and Balinese cultures was knitted during the struggle for recognition. It led to a fixed, specific identity and character of Indonesian Hinduism. The case of a series of rejections toward the Hare Krishna movement sparked in the Hindu members who escalated with Desa Adat involvement and reached a deadlock with the statements of PHDI. This paper investigates the issues between Indonesian Hinduism and the Hare Krishna Movements through a literature review. It aims to answer questions about how the conflict between Indonesian Hinduism and the Hare Krishna movements presents the complexities of the socio-cultural politics of governing religion in Indonesia. Finally, it argues that the conflict between Indonesian Hinduism and the Hare Krishna movement reflects the effects of governing religious differences in Indonesia.
