TheIKNPost.com — Dirgahayu Panglima Besar Soedirman: Behind the Historical Video from the Panglima Soedirman Foundation
On January 24 2024, Ganang Priyambodo Soedirman, grandson of Commander in Chief Soedirman, shared a simple video that moved the heart.
This video, produced by the Panglima Soedirman Foundation, is a medium for sharing the heroic story and extraordinary struggle carried out by his grandfather, General Soedirman, in fighting for Indonesian independence.
The video, although simple in appearance and production, succeeded in depicting the long journey of Sudirman’s Soul Army in the guerrilla war against oppression.
The musical background combines images of illness on a stretcher, guerrillas in villages and cities, and small groups planning resistance, giving a deep nuance to the burning spirit of struggle.
Ganang Priyambodo Soedirman, with great pride, shared this video as part of his friendship with his friends and as a reminder for all of us.
Through this video, he reminds us of a figure who had integrity and fought for freedom and justice for this country.
General Sudirman, born on January 24 1916, was not only the first commander-in-chief of the Indonesian National Army, but also a hero of the war of independence who received high respect in his homeland.
Behind his firmness in fighting the colonialists, Sudirman was also known as a gentle and humble leader, who loved the Indonesian people sincerely.
Blessed Commander in Chief Soedirman, may his fighting spirit continue to inspire future generations.
In the video, it is clearly depicted how Sudirman, despite his lung disease, continued to struggle to lead the guerrillas against the invaders. Carried on a stretcher, he showed his determination and undying fighting spirit.
Ganang Priyambodo Soedirman emphasized that this heroic story did not only include physical struggle, but also involved the spiritual values that General Soedirman held firmly. He always took care of his ablutions, performed his prayers on time, and dedicated himself to the nation and state.
In 1948, when the Dutch attacked Indonesia again, Sudirman was faced with the choice to rest due to illness. However, with determination, he refused and led his troops against the invaders in Kediri.
Sudirman’s courage and wisdom were reflected in the moment when the Dutch troops discovered his hiding place, but he was able to trick the enemy and escape their pursuit.
In the context of modern politics, Ganang Priyambodo Soedirman conveyed an important message.
Through this video, he gives the code that love for land and country above personal interests should be an inspiration for all. Ganang emphasized that the election of a leader was not only the right of the Sudirman extended family, but also a shared responsibility to protect and advance Indonesia.
With this story, we are reminded of the courage, gentleness and responsibility inherent in the history of the large Sudirman family. In the midst of Indonesia’s diversity and natural beauty, PEOPLE are undergoing an important phase in their history.
The leader that the people want is not just a powerful figure, but an “innovative leader” who is able to create cultural breakthroughs, stunning work, and policies that dare to innovate. The Indonesian people expect innovative solutions to improve the quality of life, education and overcome economic problems.
People miss leaders who not only talk about innovation, but are also able to prove it with real actions.
Indonesia’s future requires leaders who are not only figures in the eyes of the world, but also in the hearts of their people. Leaders who can bring positive change, face risks with courage, and maintain integrity in every decision.
Who do you think can be the leader that the Indonesian people dream of? Discuss your opinion and whether the video from the Panglima Soedirman Foundation provides inspiration in making a choice.
