communication with the outside world is their strength. They are averse to contact with the
foreigners and are secretive about the nature of their traditions. They are known in Java for
having supernatural power and they reinforce this reputation.
How long the Badui have lived in seclusion is still uncertain. Little is known of their
cultural background, except that their religion reflects elements from both Hinduism and
Buddhism. Their story of resistance to Islam is told in various local legends, which place the
