Indonesian Part in the War

"The Dutch wilfully ignore the anti-Japanese aspect of Indonesian Nationalism. Overtly and covertly the Indonesians have resisted the Japanese both in uprisings and in other forms of opposition. Thousands of Nationalists paid for this with their lives. Others suffered torture. Yet others lived like [unclear: hunted] animals."

Sjahrir in his Political Manifesto of November, 1945.
