My grandfather was there 74 years ago during flag ripping incidentĪnd then the Allies tried to claim us as war spoils but guess who’s still an independent nation in 2019Īre any of you familiar with the 1996 Hong Kong version of Journey to the West? ![]() The hotel is still there to this day! It’s now called Hotel Majapahit. The original plan was to get a proper Indonesian flag to replace the Dutch one but it would take too long so they ripped the Dutch flag. Obviously Indonesian people weren’t happy and asked them to take it down but they refused. Basically the Dutch community stayed at a hotel (Hotel Yamato) and flew their flag. This was actually a very specific event taking place on 19 September 1945 in Surabaya AFTER our independence. Note that our flag isn’t derived from the Dutch flag we use the colors of Majapahit Empire, gula kelapa, which is also red and white. ![]() Reblogging this for the appropriate occasion. During the Indonesian revolution to free itself from being a colony of the Netherlands, freedom fighters would rip the blue cloth from the Dutch flag to create the Indonesian flag. ![]()
