Every October 1, Indonesia commemorates the Pancasila Sanctity Day. This commemoration refers to the incident on September 30 1965. It was a dark time in Indonesia.
Maintaining independence is a winding journey. The people of Indonesia, with the Pancasila ideology, even must sacrifice both commoners and important figures. September 30 1965 was a moment when Pancasila was threatened by some people who wanted to replace it.
The September 30 1965 movement took the lives of some high-ranking military officers. However, it could be stopped, and it showed the sanctity of Pancasila.
This has made the people realize that there are other ideologies that want to change the soul of Indonesian people. Then based on MPRS Decree XXV/MPRS/1996, communism or marxism was officially banned in Indonesia.
Pancasila is the ideology of Indonesian people. Pancasila even differs Indonesia from any other nations.
In commemorating the Pancasila Sanctity Day, Indonesians must respect the fallen heroes in protecting the national ideology. Indonesians must also grow more nationalism and patriotism to fight other ideologies.
