3.HERO STORY

The Battle for Surabaya

At the end of World War II many Indonesians believed that independence was imminent. Few realised that it would be another five years of fighting before the country became a fully independent republic. The area around the east Javanese town of Surabaya became the scene of some of the heaviest fighting, and the Battle of Surabaya, which cost the lives of many thousands of Indonesians, became a symbol of resistance to the reimposition of Dutch colonial rule.

The future President Sukarno declared independence on 17 August 1945, and on 19 September, Dutch internees, with Japanese support, occupied the Oranje Hotel in Surabaya, and hoisted the Dutch flag. While this was taking place, young Indonesians were busily replacing Japanese flags in all the offices with Indonesian ones.

When they heard what the Dutch had done, the Indonesians rushed to the hotel, and hand to hand fighting began with the Dutch, who were determined to defend their flag. Very soon shots were heard, and several people fell both Dutch and Indonesian as several Indonesian youths climed the flagpole and ripped the blue stripe off the Dutch flag.

By the beginning of October, fierce fighting had broken out between the Indonesians and the Japanese, who refused to hand over their arms. The Indonesians managed to take possession of numerous buildings throughout Surabaya, and commandeered hundreds of cars and trucks to facilitate their movement throughout the town.

Then, on 25 October, some 6,000 British troops of the 49th Brigade of the 23rd Division under the command of Brigadier Mallaby, entered Surabaya. They had been ordered to organise the recovery of Allied prisoners of war, and the Indonesians were happy to cooperate. However, the British also sought to recapture Surabaya for the Dutch, and occupied key buildings and railway stations, and dropped leaflets over the town informing the populace that anyone seen bearing arms would be shot.

The British had underestimated the extent of Indonesian resistance, and indeed the numbers involved. They found themselves up against a force of 20,000 troops of the newly formed People's Security Army (Tentara Keamanan Rakyat), and over 100,000 irregular fighters, all dedicated to the cause of Indonesian independence. Fierce fighting broke out on 28 October, and soon the Indonesians had surrounded the eight British command posts scattered throughout the city.

Faced with certain defeat, the British asked Jakarta to intervene, and the following day General Hawthorne, President Sukarno, and VP Hatta flew in to negotiate a truce. A truce was reached on 30 October, and the party from Jakarta left. An evacuation of the British to the harbour was arranged, but in the excitement and confusion, fighting erupted during which Brigadier Mallaby was killed.

The British then decided to take Surabaya by force, and secretly landed 24,000 troops of the 5th Division, along with 24 Sherman tanks and the same number of armed aircraft, backed by a number of warships.

On 9 November, the British gave the Indonesians an ultimatum, ordering their leaders to surrender. When they refused, bombs were dropped on Surabaya on 10 November, heralding a battle that was to last three weeks, at the end of which 200,000 of the town's population had fled, mainly old people, women and children. Over 16,000 Indonesian troops had been killed, and 2,000 British lives lost.

Although the Indonesian resistance had been defeated, the Battle of Surabaya represented an important strategic victory for the Indonesians. It was also an important turning point for the Dutch, who until then had believed that the resistance had no popular support. The Battle of Surabaya shocked them into realising that they were no longer a colonial power.

The Legend of Nyi Roro Kidul (Queen of the Southern Sea of Java)

Nyi Roro Kidul is the figure of a beautiful woman who controlled the South Coast of Java, she is good spirits which are eager to help people in all kinds of difficulties. Based on the Javanese believes that the Queen of South is Goddess Nawang Wulan, angels from the heaven, which was once the wife of the man named Jaka Tarub, and they had children, which later from the descendants of Goddess Nawang Wulan and Jaka Tarub will birth the Kings of Java.

Goddess Nawang Wulan which after returning home to Heaven, was less well received in Heaven and came back down to the earth and meditated in the South Sea. Because of the meditation the seas became turbulent, made the King Sovereign of the south seas named Panguoso Sagoro became angry, and there was a war between them which actually ingenuity and arguments war. The winner was Goddess Nawang Wulan, then Goddess Nawang Wulan became Queen of the South Seas.
Conclusions about the Queen of South Sea is not just a fairy tale or superstition only. This is the real thing existing, but that does not include in the human nature, but rather in the nature of spirits, which can control the nature, both human nature and spirits nature and she can be classified as the Goddess of Nature, in this case the Goddess of the Sea.

Javanese people believe that Nyi Roro Kidul really exists and is closely related to the Sultan of Yogjakarta. Belief in the Queen of The South Seas is actualized well. A traditional ceremony held on the seashore in the south of Yogyakarta in every anniversary of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono (king of Yogyakarta). This ceremony is intended for the welfare of the sultan, and the people of Yogyakarta.

Belief in the the Queen of South Seas extending to the West Java area. Special room (number 308) on the top floor of the Ocean Beach Hotel (Hotel Samudra), “Pelabuhan Ratu” Port of The Queen (one of the tourism attractions in Central Java), presented exclusively for the Queen of South Seas.Painting of Nyi Roro Kidul, in all green color, and the smell of incense, decorate this room. Anyone which wants to meet to the Queen, can go into this room, but must go through an intermediate, which presents an offering for the Queen. This room is also used by first president of Indonesia, President Soekarno.
Sometimes its mentioned that the Queen lived in “room number 13″ of that Hotel. The truth of that number couldn’t be proofed.

In modern times, the legend of the Queen of South Sea, or Nyi Roro Kidul, is the most spectacular legend. Many of Indonesian or from other countries admitted that they have met a pretty queen wearing traditional Javanese dress in green. Due to this, people around the”Pelabuhan Ratu” believe that green is the favorite color of The Queen. If there are visitors of southern coast who also wear green clothes, then The Queen will drag their soul to be a servant. So the widespread myth is of the prohibition of wearing green colored clothing when visiting the South Coast.

Actually there are explanations related to security reasons, when we swam and dragged the waves wearing a green shirt, it will be difficult for rescue teams to find us. It also occurs in all the beaches, because the blue sea water, will, change the color to be green when the depth increases, drowning victims would be camouflaged by the color of the sea water. So, better to use light colored clothing.

Many stories that many people drowned, due to wearing green clothes, as it described above, which the people there said that the victim body was taken by The Queen, because She didn’t like it and was angry and made the victim as a victimizing. Actually it was not like that.The existence of the trough, because the junction between two tectonic plates, also called the seabed trench. Shaped like a crack rocks. So the victims of drowning could have slammed into it, swept, and then wedged between crack rocks, that was why Victim’s body did not reappear. Illustration of the queen in the sea The room which people believe that's the room of the queen South sea beach.
