Kompas Daily August 29, 2006 issue of lowering an article entitled "SBY Customary title will Accept ". That said, the title of the Dipatuan Maharajo Pamuncak Alam sari is given by the Institute of Traditional Nature Minangkabau density; the birth of traditional institutions and the military Order New is one of the main supporters of Golkar.
Providing custom titles for people outside the Minangkabau is not a symptom new. In the 1950s there was ever a plan to give the customary title Bundo Birth to Fatmawati, which then became First Lady. Plan was canceled after AA Navis managed to convince the military that the
title derived from the myth that people do not deserve carried by Mother Country.
Since the last few years, the customary title has been given to Yusril Ihza Mahendra, Taufik Kiemas, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, Surya Paloh, and Anwar Nasution. So important is the customary title for officials and businessmen of this country?
For men Minangkabau, customary title is a necessity. Maxims their customary saying, 'monkey banamo, bagala large sieve' (a small
name, as an adult was given the title). Every married man customary title would be, which was announced in a simple ceremony during mating event. Award is a recognition that they now have become grown men, who will be involved and rights recognized voice in the deliberations.
The title is a legacy, rather than individual property rights. Once a person dies, then the title should be returned to the owner. A person not entitled to inherit the title of others without the approval of the. Caused everyone Have the Minangkabau, then every adult male will always have degree. Thus, the customary title is not something special in the Minangkabau society.
Egalitarian society
Degree as a signal for an address, which will be recognized the truth when he pointed to the right address. Recognition against people with a degree determined by the ability to run mandate, as implied in the title she wore. Conversely, if people with no trouble degree (mp)-u run mandate, the degree it will not mean anything. Instead it will be a burden and source of ridicule.
Minangkabau society with an egalitarian culture of placing people in a parallel position. Starting from a pragmatic attitude, their assessment human based on a person's ability to run
function in society. Smart people will be rewarded if he could consulted, and a rich person can be appreciated if the complain when difficulties.
Likewise the case with traditional title holders. The inability of a indigenous people with the title expected to perform the function, can cause he is considered low. Communities will use the law itself; forget the old title and give a new title which is seen more appropriate.
Several years ago, a preacher who declared a Datuk Gelung and Datuk Togel. Indeed they are physically valid title "penghulu" and recognized customary density. But because the preacher was more interested in his profession as a catcher and seller of snakes than care of children, nephews, he Datuk digelarilah bun. The other, more prominent as the agent of the dark toto (togel) than to be ninik mamak, then named it his favorite match. That form public outcry against them.
Actually, if think of it, custom title is so heavy and difficult embodied in the real world. Just imagine, there are title of Datuk Sultan Di Langit (Datuk Sultan in The sky), when he was born and look for life on earth. Or title Sutan Natural carrying, but also carrying his own ears he could not because of his stump some time after the title was given. There is also the title of Sutan Bandaharo Kayo, but the fate of He outlines the life of his people destitute because the property has been spout.
In many cases, customary title holders more interested in running function and became famous in other fields. Customary title become less popular, and if not attached to the self-wearer.
So for example, HAMKA better known as scholar and writer rather than as a preacher who Indomo Datuk title. Or M Natsir better known as a thinker and scholar than a preacher Long Sinaro title Datuk. Also Ibrahim Datuk Tan Malaka more known as a thinker than expert custom fighter, although the name ancestral lands was more popular than her first name.
New feudalism
At least, since the 1980s, in West Sumatra many bureaucrats and entrepreneurs who hunt customary title. Progenitor title is a title most liked. It was common place before the election of members of legislative or head region. That's when the paper was filled with congratulatory ads above opening of the appointment of a degree. Title given that some indeed according to the family lineage. Only opening of 'adjusted' to the election or the election season.
For those who are outside lineage, they are chasing the title in place other. With the ability tongue, scalpers tamper title genealogy of the other to fit the buyer the title.
In short, various ways to do to get the customary title. As if the achievements and the greatness of a (prospective) officers or legislative members or employers incomplete without carrying customary title.
The attitude of the hunters that title is a continuation of the view prehistoric mythological. In most cultures of the world there was a view that a king and the aristocrats did not (be) same as ordinary people. They are extraordinary creatures, since from birth, power up to his title.
In Europe, the genealogy of the kings associated with the god Zeus, in the archipelago a king who was born from the froth spit bulls, married with authorities ocean, or a blessing "kekeramatannya" she was pregnant without a husband. Various myths are made to convince the public about incredibility it. The goal is clear, perpetuate power. That who later gave birth feudalistic attitudes among aristocrats.
In the reform era in the 21st century is, it turns out a variety of myths and feudal attitudes that still clung to some of our society. Custom award is a clear example for this. Of indigenous perspective, there is no reason that could explain why the title given to the customs officials who live in Jakarta.
New facts can be understood if it is associated with the strengthening of attitudes feudalistic society in some areas. In view of the feudal, officials in the central circle of power is a "boss" with a value of nobility and power more higher than those in the region.
If the central authorities arrived, the prop regional officials rushing preparing for the service reception. They expect blessing and a gift from his boss. Giving the title also seems to be wrong an effective mode for it.
Ironically, the show took place in the feudalistic Minangkabau. A country proud of because of cultural views egalitarian. A country that contributed many fighters, thinkers, artists, journalists, scholars, and writers for this nation in the past. A turbulent country dared to correct the center of power the wrong direction. Country in which low self-esteem is now maintained and fostered to please the central authorities. State who is now terrified at the center of power.
