Organisasi Sarekat Islam

Sarekat Islam was an influential Indonesian political and social organization founded in 1912 that aimed to unite Muslim merchants and workers to promote economic growth, social justice, and independence from Dutch colonial rule. It served as a platform for advocating Islamic values and fostering national consciousness among Indonesians. The organization played a significant role in the early nationalist movement, inspiring future independence efforts. Although it faced internal conflicts and government suppression at times, Sarekat Islam remains a key part of Indonesia’s history of mobilizing collective identity and resistance against colonialism.
