Growth of Indonesian Organizations
Despite
the political restrictions, on July 3, 1922 Ki Hajar Dewantoro founded Taman
Siswa, an organization to promote national education.
In 1924
the Indonesian Students Association, "Perhimpunan Mahasiswa
Indonesia," was formed by Drs. Mohammad Hatta, Dr. Sukiman and others.
This organization became a driving force of the nationalist movement to gain
independence.
The
Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) staged revolts against the colonial government
in November 1926 in West Java, and in January 1927 in West Sumatra. After their
suppression the Government exiled many non-communist nationalist leaders to
Tanah Merah, which the Dutch called "Boven Digul" in Irian Jaya. Dr.
Tjipto Mangunkusumo was exiled to Bandaneira.
In
February 1927 Mohammad Hatta, Achmad Soebardjo and other members of Indonesia's
Movements attended the first international convention of the "League
Against Imperialism and Colonial Oppression" in Brussels, together with
Jawaharlal Nehru and many other prominent nationalist leaders from Asia and
Africa.
In July
1927, Soekarno, Sartono and others formed the Indonesian Nationalist Party
(PNI), which adopted Bahasa Indonesia as the official language. This party
adopted a militant policy of non-cooperation with the Government as the result
of a fundamental conflict of interest between Indonesian nationalism and Dutch
colonialism.
