The New Order era reversed Sukarno’s anti-imperialism, launched 'development,' and programs to depoliticize society, transform the rakyat (people), who had fought for independence from Dutch and Japanese colonialism, into a 'docile and manipulated' massa (Masses).
By 80s & 90s opposition survived in NGOs, elites, students. Demonstrations continued against indoctrination and 'ideological homogeneity,' protecting resistance and memory Suharto tried to erase. In 1998 they forced Suharto to resign.
