Happy birthday Ibu Kartini

Ibu kita Kartini, putri sejati
Putri Indonesia harum namanya

Ibu kita Kartini, pendekar bangsa
Pendekar kaumnya untuk merdeka

Wahai ibu kita Kartini putri yang mulia
Sungguh besar cita-citanya
Bagi Indonesia

I'm sure that everybody (well, at least in Indonesia) already knows what this song is. This is a song that created by W. R. Supratman. This song was created for Indonesia heroin named Raden Ajeng Kartini.

Raden Ajeng Kartini or known as Ibu Kartini, was born on 21st of April 1879. She was a prominent Javanese and an Indonesian national heroine. Kartini is known as a pioneer in the area of women's right for native Indonesians. You can click here for more information about her.

Ibu Kartini is one of the most influential heroes for Indonesia. She struggled to raise the dignity of women to equal with men. She struggled for women have equal rights with men. Without Kartini, maybe all of women in Indonesia will never get proper treatment, will never be given permission to get an education and work. Indirectly, Kartini who have helped the women of Indonesia that has the opportunity to pursue the ideals and success.

Usually, Kartini's birthday or called as Kartini's day is commemorated with a ceremony, or even some schools are holding a contest in which participants in the race must wear traditional clothes from various provinces in Indonesia, you could say such a Fashion Show. I used to attend the contest when I was elementary, but since I entered the middle school, I never attend it anymore.

Did you ever know that the name of Kartini also used by a several restaurant, cafe and bookstore in Australia? Yeah, that's really amaze me. I'm proud of Kartini.

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR BELOVED HERO IBU RADEN AJENG KARTINI. Thank yo so much for what you've done for Indonesian women. I honestly say, I'm proud of you and I'm proud being one of Indonesian women. May you rest in piece in heaven. You'll never be forgotten, I swear.
