Discussion Text: Is Budi Utomo The Symbol of Revival in Indonesia?



Ing ngarso sung tulodo
Ing madya mangun karso
Tut wuri handayani
Giving model from the front
Giving spirit from the middle
Giving support from behind 

The National Revival Day is never separated from the role of national pioneers. The pioneers make their spirit as motivation for the progress of Indonesia. An example of pioneer institution in Indonesia is Budi Utomo which was established on 20 May 1908. Budi Utomo was also known as symbol of revival in Indonesia. I agree with the opinion because Budi Utomo is the first organization motivating the people to go ahead and to free from the colonialism. National Revival Day is a day which is celebrated in Indonesia every 20 May to remember the struggle and spirit of Indonesian people in getting the freedom. This day has been celebrated in Indonesia more than one century. In fact, there are different opinions from some experts about when the National Revival day should be celebrated. This essay will discuss about the pros and cons of Budi Utomo considered as the symbol of revival.
