Question

Why did samin start a movement in java

Answer 1

Surontiko Samin was a leader in Indonesia, north-central Java. Samin started a movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that opposed the gruesome Dutch rule that was over the Indonesians. The Saminism movement (as it has come to be known by historians) opppsed capitalism that was imposed on them by the Dutch rule. The reasons that led to the Saminism movement were as follows: 1) Heavy taxation imposed on the Indonesians by the Dutch colonialists. 2) Monopolization of the free public forests lands. This was especially so for the precious teak forests that were important for trade. The Saminism movement was a peaceful one and advocated for non-violent means of revolting. The Saminism movement also incited the Javanese people to keep on using the resources from the teak forests that they had been otherwise been barred from by the dutch colonialists.
