00:00Hello everyone. My name is Sissingamangaraja12. I was born in Bacara, North Sumatra, in 1849.
00:08I was the priest-king of the Batak people who led a legendary 30-year resistance against Dutch
00:13colonization in the Toba region. I fiercely rejected Dutch rule and fought to protect our land,
00:20culture, and sovereignty. My troops and I waged guerrilla warfare across the rugged Batak highlands.
00:26I chose to fight until the very end, making the ultimate sacrifice for my people's honor rather
00:33than submitting to foreign invaders.
