00:00Hello everyone. My name is Prince Daiponegoro, Pandurin Daiponegoro. I was born in Yogyakarta
00:06on November 11, 1785. I was a royal prince of the Yogyakarta Sultanate who led the Javanese people
00:14in the Java War, Parang Jawa, against Dutch colonial rule from 1825 to 1830. The conflict
00:22was triggered when the Dutch disrespected sacred land by building a road across my ancestor's tomb.
00:28I used effective guerrilla tactics across central Java, gaining overwhelming support from locals
00:34and scholars. Although the Dutch trickily captured me during peace negotiations, my sacrifice became
00:41a timeless symbol of resistance against oppression.
