Different Sukarno and student activists today


Indonesian University students assist the vendors refused eviction.

Peak action, they blocked rail station Pondok China, Depok. KRL schedule was disrupted.

Thousands of Jakarta-Bogor KRL users who can not return any action cussing these students.

The student was admitted struggling little people, the merchants were evicted. But their actions instead another miserable people. Thousands of users KRL economy was certainly not the citizens are.

Students are always full of vigor. An activist fighting for the truth and find it always interesting for students. First First President Soekarno also fought for the independence of its people since I was in college at the Technische Hogeschool Bandung (ITB now).

But the struggle Sukarno in college is different from today's activists. Sukarno never hurt people, he's always in the middle of the small people. Ask about the condition of the people so that people know what is needed.

In college too Soekarno first speech in front of thousands of people. Speeches by Soekarno burning spirit of the people. Dutch secret police began to follow all the movements of Sukarno. Every Sukarno, then thousands of people will listen to him with great admiration.

Busyness organizing and political make Soekarno abandoned college. Technische Hogeschool head Professor Klopper was called. He gave a sermon made aware so as not to neglect Soekarno college. Klopper know if it was allowed to Soekarno will dissolve in political activity and would not be able to graduate from a technical school.

"You have to pursue your studies. I do not mind if a young man has political aspirations, but it should be remembered that first and foremost you have to meet the obligations as a student. Thou must promise from this day was not involved in the political movement," said Kloper as depicted in the biography written Soekarno Cindy Adams.

Soekarno then promised to stop his political activities temporarily. He also promised not to make a speech in front of the masses that would make him deal with the police.
"Yes professor. You can keep my promise," said Soekarno.

Soekarno then kept his promise. She graduated on May 25, 1926 with the title Ingenieur. At that time, hundreds of students, there are only two graduate inlander.

When passed, again Klopper discourse is at Soekarno he remembered all his life.
"Ir Soekarno, a diploma is a time to tear and disintegrate into ash. He is not immortal. Remember, that the only thing eternal is the character of a person. Memories of the characters that will live even if he dies."

Sukarno had passed, nothing that prevented the obligation to fight for the independence of his nation. Then the student experience during later very influential in shaping the character of the son of the morning which led Indonesia to independence gates.
