Arung Palakka
[edit]
Arung Palakka
... that many Indonesians today see the Bugis prince Arung Palakka (pictured) as traitor, because he helped the Dutch East India Company defeat the Gowa Sultanate?
Source: '... the emotions evoked by nationalism were not easily assuaged. Arung Palakka and the Bugis had allied with the Company against "fellow Indonesians" and were therefore considered "traitors" to the new Republic of Indonesia.' Andaya p. 2- ALT1: ... that after the Bugis prince Arung Palakka (pictured) supported the Dutch East India Company in the Makassar War, he became the most powerful man in South Sulawesi?

New enough, long enough, both hooks are cited, no copyvio or other policy issues, QPQ done, hook ALT1 is ok, but I don't like the original hook. It smacks of pushing a political POV and although the source says something like that. it is a lot more nuanced. Good to go with ALT1. SpinningSpark 17:47, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
