National Heroine Agenda?
Hello everyone, I wanted edit some formatting to make sure that the article looks well put. Then, I encountered the following passage:
"In the 1960s, Indonesia chose to make Tiahahu a National Heroine, principally to appropriate the Maluccan independence struggle as their own and delegitimize the resistance movement of the Republic of South Maluku."
Can anybody find any source to verify this? Would be interesting, as it'll shed more light on Indonesia's efforts in legitimizing their case for a cohesive 'nation state.'
I have a feeling that such things may apply in many cases (as it may be with Martha Tiahahu), but would be nice if we may find some legitimate sources on this (academic literature, discourse, discussions, etc.). Otherwise, with how it is now written—I'm afraid it may be wise to doubt the passage's neutrality. Myrrhabeaugh (talk) 00:19, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
