Mbah Wahab raises nationalism awareness in pesantren circles
Nationalism as a movement of resistance against the invaders was present in the first half of the 20th century with a number of modern organizations such as Budi Utomo, Syarikat Islam (SI ), Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and so on, he said."The establishment of NU itself actually began from its young cadres. Mbah Wahab became the motor raising the collective consciousness among pesantren circles," said the former board member of the East Javas Indonesian Muslim Students Movement (PMII).
NU Update
Previously, Yakin continued, the awareness against the invaders had actually existed. All this was due to the sense of resistance was not a collective and well-organized consciousness.When the resistance appeared sporadically and localized. "Thus, the strength of resistance is not so great for repelling invaders as a whole," he said.
