From independence in 1945 through the rise and fall of Sukarno and Suharto to the democracy movement of the 1990s, students have been central. They are one of the forces able to confront power directly.
Some history: After Japan’s surrender in 1945 youth leaders pushed Sukarno and Hatta to declare independence. When the Allies came to restore colonial Dutch rule they found a war of independence and a nation seemingly split into left vs. right, Islamic vs. secular, young vs. old.
