Google Doodle "Indonesia" Today To Celebrate Hari Sumpah Pemuda 2016

Sumpah Pemuda 2016
Google Doodle Indonesia

Every year on this day, Indonesians remember the powerful declaration of the Youth Pledge (Sumpah Pemuda), dating to October 28, 1928:

“Firstly, We the sons and daughters of Indonesia, acknowledge one motherland, Indonesia. Secondly, We the sons and daughters of Indonesia, acknowledge one nation, the nation of Indonesia. Thirdly, We the sons and daughters of Indonesia, respect the language of unity, Indonesian.”


The words were first spoken by a group of young Indonesian nationalists taking part in the nation’s Second Youth Congress. The proud tradition of the Youth Congress began in Batavia (now Jakarta) in 1926 to promote the idea of a united Indonesia. The second congress, held two years later in three different locations, closed with a reading of the Youth Pledge, words that endure as a symbol of nationalism today.
