Granted, fashion culture that neo-modernity 'recently' opened the traditional fashion, culture motoran motor-bike that has shifted (the Chinese culture, red), and nevertheless, the culture of modern transportation has been floored carriage / gig in my hometown, mailing terknik manual slammed SMS technology, home telephone suppressed cell phone. All the magic is a form of civilization, from time to time. All in the name of simplicity of human life, even human life right from the beginning until now never been easier, and make friends with problems, because the human birth of a package with the problem itself.
Ethnic Mandar
This is my ethnicity, ethnic Mandar. One of the many 'tribes' in our dear homeland is. Ethnic Malays are believed to originate from Polynesia, has its own language, its own customs and facial anatomy and body shape to the late-asia. "Grandparents" we are familiar with the ocean, until the Mandar people are also attached to the profession of fishing and farming as my late father. That's a reason why ethnographic songs and poems Mandar voiced with the exquisite ocean waves, blue water thundering into contact with, until the song created ethnic-modern love story and romantic pair of teenagers, singing lilting melow and was titled: "GULF MANDAR ". Origin of the word (etiomologi) Mandar origin is not certain, all is still a hypothesis, a hypothesis based on the history of the Mandar people in the 13th century (thirteen). Allegedly 'nomenclature' Mandar derived from the original word, namely MANDAQ, meaning strong / bold. I also suspect that this is the very origin of the word pharmaceutics Mandar, my ethnicity.
Furthermore, there is a 'suspicion' another that says Mandar Arabic origin; Nadhara. And also giving other names of Dutch Colonial; with two syllables: Man Dare. And later period, became a joke in the 2000's, is centered on the ethnic Chinese as the similarity of the letters: Mandar and Mandarin. Ha ha ha ..
Culture is still firmly Mandar-care habits and rituals that are in line with the religious beliefs and Mandar. Barzanji readings (History of the Prophet Muhammad) are still sung, circumcision for girls are still ignored and the tambourine tambourine-beating of women Mandar, was still ringing. Amma 'Cammana, he derigen and Mandar style nasheed vocalist and he also' Spiritual Guru 'Kyai Kanjeng Emha Ainun Najib.
Blood Bath
I understand, Blood Bath is the most keywords you want to know at this writing. Until I wrote this sub-tittle humanities at the end of this article. The phrase 'heroic' is an acronym of the word Mandar (Blood Bath). Very ironically actually, 'blood bath' is a symbol of violence that have occurred in the proud birthplace-the-decade of 50's until the 80's. The Age of 'primitive' it is very unfortunate, where the battle between frequent family, for the sake of family prestige (siriq), send someone to challenge the family and invited him in an area that has been agreed for the performance of self-esteem, courage test, as well as reckless test in cockfighting life and stab-stab in one glove.
Death Duel was, not infrequently held, tubs Archiles Vs Hector in Troy legend, Greece. When the two men duel Mandar, eyes fierce, full of deception footsteps, sword swing Mandar whirring, clattering when collide with deadly spears famous Mandar it. Audience of two camps, sometimes closed his eyes when the blade of the sword fighter ripped clothes but no one was injured. Hours this fight, whenever that entered the final round. There is a noble soul in there, because the fall in the battle, the bodies are treated well, returned to his house with great reverence.
Exactly, 'culture' is then eroded when violensi Mandar people repent, introspection history, culture and reparations Mandar children at the time, vowed that the next generation is no longer wearing the slogan 'deadly' it. Blood Bath motto minimal future, absurd and time and human ignorance.
Up, bow budayapun shifted, and the children were Mandar, out of hiding its culture to go to the 'country' people studying patiently, and uletnya with a strong motto of parents who are very familiar, heroic and popular, in the Land of Mandar: "Maumi na reppo arriang sapo, all the massikola bhandi ana'u "(Meaning: Let my pole berpatah-fault, as long as my son an education).
At that time, young children Mandar risking your own lives and earn science, dipermula from Makassar to Jogjakarta, Jakarta until the United States of America. And all have expired sweet, because there is no blood bath umbaran tergaung ever again on land and at sea Mandar, the land of my birth.
