Soekarno, born Kusno Sosrodihardjo in 1901, was the first President of Indonesia and a key figure in the country's
struggle for independence from Dutch colonial rule. Known for his charismatic leadership and oratory skills,
Soekarno played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's destiny.
Soekarno was born in Surabaya, Java, during the Dutch East Indies era. His early exposure to nationalist ideas and
activism influenced his political beliefs. Soekarno studied engineering in Bandung, where he became involved in
nationalist movements advocating for independence.
As a leader of the Indonesian Nationalist Party (PNI), Soekarno tirelessly campaigned for self-determination. The
proclamation of Indonesian independence on August 17, 1945, marked a historic moment with Soekarno as its
first president. However, this led to a bitter armed conflict with the Dutch, known as the Indonesian National
Revolution.
Soekarno's presidency was characterized by his concept of "Guided Democracy." He sought to balance the
ideological diversity within Indonesia by guiding the nation's development through a combination of nationalism,
communism, and Islam. This approach aimed to maintain unity amid diverse political and social forces.
Soekarno was known for his non-aligned foreign policy, advocating for cooperation among developing nations. He
played a crucial role in establishing the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), fostering solidarity among countries not
aligned with any major power bloc during the Cold War.
Soekarno's presidency faced challenges, including economic issues and political instability. In 1966, under pressure
from the military and political forces, Soekarno handed over power to General Suharto. His health declined, and
Soekarno lived the remaining years of his life in isolation until his death in 1970.
Despite controversies, Soekarno is remembered as a founding father and symbol of Indonesian independence. His
