Indonesian Nationalist Party (PNI)

The Indonesian Nationalist Party (PNI), founded in 1927 by Sukarno and other nationalists, was Indonesia’s first major political organization advocating for independence from Dutch colonial rule. It aimed to unite Indonesians across diverse cultures and regions under a common goal of sovereignty and self-determination. PNI promoted nationalism, political awareness, and anti-colonial actions, becoming a central force in Indonesia’s push for independence, which was achieved in 1945. The party played a significant role in shaping Indonesia’s political landscape, emphasizing unity and independence as core principles.
