Abstract

Raden Saleh, a prominent Indonesian artist, has regained attention in recent times with the release of the film "Mencuri Raden Saleh" (Stealing Raden Saleh). One of the film scenes depicts a painting portraying the capture of Prince Diponegoro, which is said to represent resistance against the Dutch colonial rule and nationalism. This raises the need to delve into Raden Saleh's life, the emergence of the painting depicting the capture of Prince Diponegoro, and to understand the historical context and Raden Saleh's position within it. It is essential to provide a clear historical framework to avoid any misconceptions about Raden Saleh and his role. This research utilizes the Historical Method, beginning with the identification of the topic. The heuristic phase involves gathering primary sources such as newspapers, articles, magazines, and online archives like Delpher.nl and the Library University Leiden KITLV. Secondary sources such as books and journals are also employed. The collected sources undergo verification through external criticism to ensure their authenticity and internal criticism to establish the credibility of historical facts. Subsequently, the verified findings are interpreted through analysis and synthesis to construct a historical narrative. Finally, historiography is employed to reconstruct the gathered historical facts.

Abstract

This article aims to elucidate the role of the literary work "Roman Medan" in depicting the socio-historical landscape of the Indonesian Revolution in East Sumatra. Employing a historical methodology and a social history approach, this research leverages various written sources, including "Roman Medan" stories published during the Indonesian Revolution era, newspapers, and supplementary literature. Despite the pervasive turmoil during the Revolution, authors and prominent figures did not remain silent; they endeavored to navigate through armed conflicts and diplomatic channels. In the context of East Sumatra, these efforts culminated in the creation of "Roman Medan." Unfortunately, these literary works have received limited attention, even though "Roman Medan" constitutes an authentic cultural product of the local community, offering profound insights into the lives of the people. The findings underscore that the conditions prevailing during the Revolution provided literary inspiration for authors. Through "Roman Medan" they conveyed the spirit of nationalism and offered a glimpse into the daily lives of individuals during this transformative period. Consequently, "Roman Medan" serves as a valuable resource for understanding the social realities of the Indonesian Revolution in East Sumatra.

Abstract

This study explores the 20th-century entry of Indian-Muslim ethnic groups into Barus, Central Tapanuli, aiming to understand the historical context. It focuses on three key aspects: 1) the migration factors driving Indian-Muslims to Barus, encompassing both push and pull factors; 2) the responses of the Barus residents towards Indian-Muslim newcomers; and 3) the professions pursued by the Indian-Muslim community in Barus. Employing qualitative and library-based research methods, data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, subsequently verified and analyzed. The findings highlight the influence of various push factors, primarily the unfavorable social and economic conditions in their hometowns, and the pull factors include economic opportunities and the religious significance of the Barus region. The indigenous people of Barus generally welcome Indian-Muslim newcomers, fostering integration through social and economic interactions, as well as cross-cultural marriages and the granting of Batak clan names to Indian-Muslim ethnic groups. Notably, Indian-Muslims predominantly engage in professions akin to the local Barus population, such as agriculture, fishing, trading, and various services.

Abstract

This research examines the "Dynamics of the Marpangir Tradition within the North Padang Lawas Regency Community" with a primary focus on its historical emergence and evolving dynamics during the period from 1990 to 2000.

Abstract

This research examines the history and development of Syekh Zainal Abidin Mosque in Pudun Julu, Batunadua District, Padangsidimpuan, using a historical methodology approach. Built in 1880 AD, the mosque serves as an exemplar of Islamic architectural art, reflecting the evolution of Islam and the process of Islamization in Padangsidimpuan. The mosque is named after its founder, Syekh Zainal Abidin, also known as Harahap (1811-1901). Initially serving as a center for spiritual activities, political affairs during the colonial era, an educational institution, a place for traditional spiritual practices (parsulukan), and a medical center. However, presently, its function is primarily focused on being a place of worship, without involving religious and social rituals as in the past. This transformation reflects the mosque's adaptation to changing times while preserving its spiritual values. This study provides insights into the dynamic roles of the mosque within the local context.
