Ep 16: Indonesia Rising

Indonesia, a nation of 270 million people, is one of history's most underestimated world powers. From the golden age of the Majapahit Empire to Dutch colonial brutality, from CIA-backed Cold War massacres to today's economic powerhouse in the Pacific—this is the story of a people who refuse to be broken by western imperialism. Join Triploi as we look at the events that shaped modern Indonesia, as well as why West Papua remains occupied, how Bali's spiritual culture was commodified, and why this archipelago nation might just rewrite the global power structure in our lifetime.
