Myth between sundanese and Javanese

In this article, I will share stories about the nature of the Sundanese. The reason I write about this Sunda ethnic character, because of the variety of experiences and information that I can turn over a lot of opinions of people from outside the tribal Sundanese said of its negative side than the positive side of her. Until I get the myth that "Sundanese Not Suitable For The Javanese". Why is that so? Indeed, as a human being would have the right of freedom to believe, but it is actually what makes people outside the ethnic Sundanese Sundanese argue about the ugly?

I as the Sundanese, Sundanese certainly want good views of various groups of other tribes. Well, then let's read from it .. good article about this Sundanese, we solve this problem .. so myth Sundanese not be underestimated :-) ,After my many questions, accept the opinions and searching on google about Sundanese, there is an ugly myth that is still inherent in the outlook for the Sundanese. Here's the opinion of one of the tribes of Java on the Sunda view.

"Men are not suitable for women Sundanese Java, because the Java and Sunda character is different, if forced to marry the couple who came from Java will be oppressed and tortured, because the character of the Javanese who nrimo, caving, silent and unwilling concerned then when confronted with Sundanese people like mendominanisasi character, the claimant, it will be very easy matre'd divorce, Sundanese women more than men like men Javan Sundanese jealous because of the attitude of the work and is not stingy in terms of feed, so that the property will be more flow to the woman's family, which resulted in waste and poverty. Conversely, if the woman is married to a man Javan Sundanese, the nature nrimo, women succumb to anger and Java will be used by the men but the work-shy Sunda prosecutor and family man Sunda will be easier to mendominanisasi, family dictate his / her sister the Sundanese. "

When we saw this one opinion, it seems Sundanese women are materialistic properties, and Sundanese man possesses a slacker too hard. And when paired Sundanese and Javanese, it is easier to divorce in marriage. I think do not need Java Sundanese, Javanese neighbor or fellow Sundanese also would meet a big problem .. The problem of divorce, it looks like it depends on how we live our household yes, if indeed one or both inherited the mating habits of divorce, could not appreciate the loyalty, behavior ugly, and greedy traitors, yaa ... divorce is a solution that is almost certainly chosen each time to meet the problem.

Many of the Javanese or Sundanese parents who forbid marriage in this regard because of the myth that was. Well once again the myth, that's why we need to consider the logic to break free from bad teachings and absurd mindset inherited parent that has a view like that.

There is one story that might Bubat War background for this. Here's the story in a nutshell:

War Bubat

Event begins Bubat War of intent King Hayam Wuruk who wanted to marry princess Dyah Pitaloka Citraresmi of the State of Sunda. According to historical records Padjadjaran by Saleh Danasasmita and Manuscript Bubat War by Joseph Iskandar, the marriage intention is to strengthen the fraternity that has long been broken off between Majapahit and Sundanese. Raden Wijaya who is considered the founder of the Majapahit kingdom of Sundanese descent Dyah Ox-Tal and her husband are Rakeyan Jayadarma, king of Sunda. It is also recorded in the Library of the Rajya Rajya i Bhumi Nusantara II sarga parwa 3. Babad Tanah Jawi In, Raden Wijaya also called by the name of Jake Susuruh of Padjadjaran. Nevertheless, the historical record is considered weak Padjadjaran truth, especially since the name is Dyah lembu Pitaloka male name.

Common reasons that can be accepted is Hayam Wuruk was intending to marry Dyah Pitaloka driven political reasons, namely to the alliance with the State of Sunda. Under the approval of the family of the kingdom of Majapahit, Hayam Wuruk sent a letter to the Maharaja Linggabuana honor to propose Dyah Pitaloka. The wedding ceremony is scheduled to take place in Majapahit. The board itself is actually Sundanese kingdom of State objections, especially Mangkubumi Hyang Bunisora Suradipati. This is because according to the custom prevailing in the archipelago at that time, the unusual bride comes to the groom. In addition there is a suspicion that it is a diplomatic trap Majapahit who was dilating powers, including by way of mastering the Kingdom Dompu in Nusa Tenggara. Linggabuana decided to stay off to Majapahit, because of existing brotherhood of the ancestry of the two countries. Linggabuana entourage departed Sunda to Majapahit and accepted and placed in Houses Bubat.

Misunderstanding

Sundanese king came to Bubat along empress and princess Dyah Pitaloka accompanied by little soldier. According to Song Sundayana, Gajah Mada arise Mahapatih intention to rule the Kingdom of Sunda. Gajah Mada want to fulfill the Palapa Oath made in the period before Hayam Wuruk ascended the throne, because of various kingdoms in the archipelago that has been conquered Majapahit, Sundanese kingdom only one who has not mastered. With this aim, Gajah Mada makes reason to assume that the arrival of the Sundanese in Houses Bubat is a form of surrender to the Majapahit Kingdom of Sunda. Gajah Mada Hayam Wuruk urged to accept Dyah Pitaloka not as a bride, but as a sign of surrender and recognition of the superiority of the State of Sunda Sunda archipelago Majapahit above. Hayam Wuruk himself wavering above mentioned problems, considering Gajah Mada is a dependable Mahapatih Majapahit at the time.

The death of the Sunda group

Then there was the incident with the dispute between the messengers Linggabuana Gajah Mada. The dispute ended with scolded at him Gajah Mada by State Sundanese envoy shocked that their arrival just to give an indication of surrender and admit the superiority of Majapahit, not because of a previous invitation. However Gajah Mada remains in its original position. Not to mention Hayam Wuruk gave its verdict, Gajah Mada has deployed his troops (Bhayangkara) and threatens to Houses Bubat Linggabuana to acknowledge the superiority of Majapahit. In order to maintain the honor as a knight Sunda, Linggabuana reject the pressure. Tempers unbalanced battle between Gajah Mada with large amounts of troops, against Linggabuana the royal guard (Balamati) which amounts to little. The incident ended with the death of Linggabuana, ministers, officials and the entire royal family of the kingdom of Sunda. Tradition says the Princess Dyah Pitaloka with grieving hearts do martial starch, committed suicide to defend the honor of the nation and country. This action may be followed by all the women Sunda remaining, either nobles or servants.

The Result

Tradition states that mourned the death of Hayam Wuruk Dyah Pitaloka. Hayam Wuruk deplore this action and send a messenger (darmadyaksa) from Bali - which at that time was in Majapahit to witness the marriage between Hayam Wuruk and Dyah Pitaloka - to convey an apology to Mangkubumi Hyang Bunisora Suradipati who became acting Foreign Sunda king, and said that all of these events will be posted on the Sunda Song or Song Sundayana (in Bali known as Sunda Geguritan) in order to be learned. King Hayam Wuruk then married his own cousin, Paduka Sori.

As a result of this Bubat event, said in the note that the relationship with Gajah Mada Hayam Wuruk become loose .. This event was full of misfortune began to decline in the career mark Gajah Mada, because then Hayam Wuruk fief bestowed on Madakaripura (now Probolinggo).

This tragedy damaging relations between the two countries and the state continues until many years later, the Sunda-Majapahit relationship never recovered as usual. As a result of these events as well, among relatives State regulations ban imposed Sunda Estri ti outcomes, the contents of which are not allowed to marry outside of the relatives of Sunda, or some say should not be married to the Majapahit. Regulation is then interpreted as a broader prohibition for people to marry Javanese Sundanese.Acts of bravery and heroism of King Sunda and daughter Dyah Pitaloka to take action to defend starch (daredevil) is respected and honored by the Sundanese people and is considered as an example. Lingga Buana King dubbed "King Perfume" (Sundanese: king of the redolent name) because of his heroic defense of his country's pride. His descendants, the kings of Sunda later dubbed Siliwangi derived from the word which means a replacement of Reparation Wangi, Wangi King heir or successor.

Some of these reactions reflect the disappointment and anger of Sunda to Majapahit society, a sentiment which later evolved into a kind of rivalry and hostility between Sundanese and Javanese are in some ways still remains until now. Among other things, unlike other cities in Indonesia, Bandung, capital of West Java Sundanese culture at the same center, there were no street named "Gajah Mada" or "Majapahit". Although Gajah Mada regarded as a national hero of Indonesia, mostly Sundanese people believe it is inappropriate due to his actions deemed commendable in this tragedy.

Among other interesting things, although Bali is often regarded as the cultural heir of Majapahit, the Balinese seem to tend to side with Sundanese kingdom in this case, as is evident in the text of the bali kidung sunda.
