Sang Saka Merah Putih

15:45

Tahukah kamu, kisah di balik bendera negara kita? Rupanya bendera yang pertama kali dijahit oleh Ibu Fatmawati ini mengambil ide dari warna bendera dan umbul-umbul kerajaan Majapahit.

Nama lainnya yaitu Dwaja Abang-Putih (abang = merah), Pataka Gula Kelapa, Sang Saka Gula Kelapa, Sang Getih-Getah, Sang Jingga-Pethak (pethak = putih), dari berbagai bahasa berbeda (Jawa, Sansekerta, Kawi, dll).

Itu sebabnya walau terlihat sederhana tapi ada kedalaman dalam makna dan filosofi bendera nasional kita, yang tanpa kita sadari telah mengangkat bangsa kita sejak jaman nenek-moyang.

The Red & White Flag of Indonesia


Do you know the story behind the national flag of Republic of Indonesia? Apparently the flag that first sewn by Mrs. Fatmawati was taken from the colors of the flag and banners of Majapahit Empire.

The other names are Dwaja Abang-Putih, Pataka Gula Kelapa, Sang Saka Gula Kelapa, Sang Getih-Getah, Sang Jingga-Pethak. These all means the same: "the red & white flag", in different languages of Javanese, Sanskrit, Kawi, etc.

That is why Indonesian flag looks so simple in just two colors, without anyone realizing that the meaning and philosophy had brought glory to the nation since their ancestors.



Rahayu.
