The Story of Tuanku Imam Bonjol

Tuanku Imam Bonjol was borned in Bonjol, Pasaman,Indonesia in 1772


He thendied in Manado, Sulawesi in November 6th 1864, in the age of 92 years old
and was buried in Khusus Lotak, Minahasa. Tuanku Imam Bonjol is not from
Minahasa, He was from West Sumatera.

“Tuanku Imam Bonjol” is a little given to religious teachers in Sumatra. The real
name of Imam Bonjol is Peto Syarif Ibnu Pandito Bayanuddin. He is a well known
religious leader in islamic teachings in Sumatera, who used to be against gambling,
chicken fight, misuses of dadah, alcoholic drinks, and tobacco, but then moved on
to be against the occupancy of the Dutch who had the motto Gold, Glory, Gospel
which then caused the Padri war (1821-1837). He first started to learn religion
from his father, Buya Nudin. Then he studied from a few teachers like Tuanku Nan
Renceh. Imam Bonjol is a leader from the land of Bonjol. The clash between the
traditional society and the Padri society, which means the religious society, has
made Imam Bonjol take part in it. The Padri society tried to clean the Islamic
teachings that were thought to be way too far from its roots, and return it to the
pure Islamic path.

In 1837, the village of Imam Bonjol Berjaya was taken over by the dutch, and
Imam Bonjol surrendered. He was then secluded to a lot of places, including
Minahasa as the last place. He was titled National Hero. A monument with
Sumatera characteristics covered Imam Bonjol’s grave. A carving of Imam Bonjol
in the Padri War was carved on one of the sides of the monument. Next to the
monument lies the home of Imam Bonjol where he lived through out the time of
his seclusion.

Sisingamangaraja XII, The King of Toba


Did you know that Sisingamangaraja XII was displayed on the Rp. 1,000 ? His
work against the Dutch for three decades makes the story of Sisingamangaraja XII
interesting to watch

Si Singamangaraja XII was born Patuan Bosar Sinambela in Bakkara, Tapanuli, in


1849. He was the successor to his father Si Singamangaraja XI (Raja Sohahuaon
Sinambela) who died in 1867 . The title Si Singamangaraja which was used by the
family dynasty of Marga Sinambela means "The Great Lion King": Having the
nickname Patuan Bosar Sinambela, Sisingamangaraja XII ascended the throne in
1876 to replace his father. Sisingamangaraja XII, who was 22 years old at that
time, started his struggle because the Dutch were implementing an open door
policy.

In order to defend his homeland, Sisingamangaraja XII never wanted to


compromise or even have diplomacy with the invaders. It was decided to fight the
Dutch by gathering troops in Balige. Until 1877 the Dutch not only attacked the
headquarters of Sisingamangaraja XII but all of Toba.
The war lasted more than 20 years, during which time the movement was carried
out in a guerrilla manner using the forest, never even setting foot into the palace.
Until the end of his life, Sisingamangaraja XII had to die with his 2 sons with a
fighting spirit and persistent resistance.
