Kevin Systrom is the co-founder of a social networking buzz ‘Instagram’. He was born to Diane

he was much interested in video games and even developed different levels while playing a
game. He did a bachelor’s degree in management science and engineering, and embarked on
career which was to impact the social networking activities in an enormous way. He worked for
a tech-giant company and then shifted to a startup company called ‘Nextstop’. While working at
Nextstop, he and his associate Mike created an application called ‘Burbn’, but that turned out to
be too complicated and difficult to operate for users. Thus the duo created the latest social
networking sensation called ‘Instagram’.

Padri War was the longest war that lasted between 1803 and 1838, involving fellow people of
Minang and Mandailing or Batak. Initially the war can be said to be a civil war in Sumatra,
between the Padri and local chieftains of Pagaruyung.
Padri war initially involved the Padri led by Loard Pasaman, who then attacked the local
chieftains led by Sultan Arifin Muningsyah. Being hard-pressed and forced to flee from his
authority, Sultan Arifin Muningsyah asked for the help of the Netherlands. Officially, the
Netherlands helped the local chieftains to fight against the Padri through an agreement signed in
1821. The agreement stated that the Netherlands would get the mastery of the region in the
interior of the Minangkabau.
Although the Netherlands intervened in the Padri war, they had difficulties in resisting the Padri
which was led by Tuanku Imam Bonjol. They then invited Tuanku Imam Bonjol for an
agreement in 1824. However the agreement did not last long.
In 1833, Padri war had a new chapter, the local chieftains decided to unite with the Padri and
fight against the Netherlands. The Netherlands sieged and assailed the Padri fortress for about six
months. After a long besiege, the fortress of Bonjol could be controlled by the Netherlands on
16th August 1837.
To capture Tuanku Imam Bonjol as the leader of Padri, the Netherlands pretended to invite him
for a negotiation at Palupuh in October, 1837. During the negotiation, Tuanku Imam Bonjol was
captured and then exiled to Cianjur, West Java. From Cianjur, he then was brought to Ambon
until then moved into the Minahasa, Lotak, near Manado. Since then, the Padri war ended.
