Welcome
to Bandung
Jakarta
happens to be located in Java, but it is
hardly of Java. The contrast between the
metropolitan capital and the surrounding
province is dramatic. For, although West
Java contains some big cities of its own,
its soul is rural. The least densely populated
province of the island, it offers unrivaled
scenery, extensive nature reserves and refreshing
mountain weather, all within a few hours
of Jakarta's confusion. Its prosperity,
friendly people and excellent transportation
facilities make it one of the most genuinely
relaxing parts of rural Indonesia in which
to travel. West Java also offers much that
is of cultural and historical interest.
West
Java was first known to Europe as Sunda
- a land, kingdom, language and people all
distinct from Java. The l6th-century Portuguese
were so impressed by this country that they
misapplied its name not only to the island
of Java, but to the whole archipelago; to
this day, Sumatra, Java, Borneo and Celebes
are still known collectively as the "Greater
Sunda Islands." The first known kingdom
on Java, the Hindu state of Tarumanegara,
flourished on the north coastal plain of
West Java in the 5th century. A millenium
later, the first Portuguese ships to weigh
anchor here were welcomed by another great
Hindu kingdom, Pajajaran, a contemporary
and rival of the great East Javanese Majapahit.
Since 1433, the capital had been at an inland
location, Pakuan, today's Bogor, where Dutch
governors- general would later reside. However,
in 1522, when Pajajaran concluded an alliance
with Portuguese Goa, it was still master
of the north coast, including the lucrative
ports of Banten and Sunda Kelapa (now Jakarta).
The Portuguese were to help protect the
Hindu power against Islam's rapid westward
expansion along the coast. However, when
they returned in 1527, both ports had been
captured by Muslims and made vassals of
the young sultanate of Demak, 400 kilometers
to the east. Landlocked, Pajajaran declined,
and 50 years later its capital was conquered
by Banten.
While
Javanese speakers flocked to the booming
coastlands, and Banten became a great trading
and military power, the Sundanese retreated
to the mountains and high plateau in the
south and developed a rural folk culture
without cities or courts. In this condition,
and so close to Batavia, what now became
known as the "Sundalands" were
easy prey for the VOC; by 1684, the entire
Sundanese-speaking area was under direct
Dutch control, while the >>
