Of happy 63rd anniversary, Indonesia

I have heard the Indonesian national anthem countless of times before but the first time I truly took notice was when a video was screened in a Southeast Asian history class instructed by Professor Lieberman’s all the way back when I was a freshman at Michigan.

It was about the Dutch East Indies at the beginning of the 20th century right up to the independence of Indonesia 4 decades later.
At the end of the video, probably marking the birth of a new state and probably a nation too, after the wars, Sukarno was among a crowd,smiling and waving with Indonesia Raya  playing in the background.

For a person that understood Indonesian language amid those whom hadnever learned it, I thought I felt something then. I thought I alonewas the only person whom truly understood the moment of what it meantto be free. There was a sense of joy. And I thought, the music made itall the more beautiful.
