CUT NYAK DIEN
Cut Nyak Dhien was born in 1848 in the village of Lam Padang,
the territory of 6 mukim, Aceh Besar. She was born as a woman of
class of nobles. This situation does not make him spoiled and proud
on the status of his parents. Heroic nature it is precisely
grew because of the legacy of his father named Teuku Nanta Seutia,
Uleebalang 6 mukim, part of the 25 mukim area, which is wrong
a fighter in opposing the Dutch colonial. His mother is also
a descendant of a noble who is respected from the village of Lam Pagar (Irini
Dewi Wanti, 1996: 3)
At the time Cut Nyak Dhien stepped on 12 years, he was mated by
his parents with his brother's son on the side of his mother named
Teuku Ibrahim. Son Teuku Po Amat, Uleebalang Lamnga 13 mukim
Tungkop, choosing Teuku Ibrahim as Cut Nyak Dhien's match is not
just because Teuku Ibrahim was the son of a Uleebalang who was equal
with him, but also because he is a young man who is religious,
broad-minded, a pious who obtained religious education from
Dayah Bitay. After Cut Nyak Dhien and Teuku Ibrahim got married and felt
is quite self-sufficient to finance the household. They moved into the house
which Teuku Chik Nanta has provided for them.
The outbreak of the Aceh war against Dutch colonial 1873 moved
all the people of Aceh to fight to expel the colonial. Sultan of Aceh,
Uleebalang and its people together defend the regions
which will be occupied by the Dutch. One of them is Teuku Nanta as
Uleebalang 6 mukim. He is busy with war activities. Teuku Nanta
along with Teuku Chik Ibrahim and Imeum Leung Bata
Tuanku Hasyim Banta Muda maintains the Grand Mosque and the Palace
Sultan. (Irini Dewi Wanti, 1996: 4)
The Great Mosque and the Sultan's Palace were defended fiercely by Aceh's troops,
and finally, the Great Mosque fell into Dutch hands on 6 January
Teuku Chik Ibrahim left Cut Nyak Dhien at Lam Padang
to fight along with Teuku Imeum Leung Brick they advanced to
border of 6 mukim and trying to conquer Meuraxa. Dutch increasingly
incessantly to subjugate other areas outside Aceh Besar.
Many
also areas that deliberately "reconciled" to the Netherlands as wrong
one strategy to be able to enter the combat needs of Aceh troops.
For many months Teuku Chik Ibrahim did not meet Cut Nyak
Dhien. His arrival wanted to preach that Cut Nyak Dhien and the people
6 mukim have to leave Lam Padang to evacuate to a safe place
and prepare supplies for going on a long journey. On
December 29, 1875 entourage Cut Nyak Dhien left Lam
Padang. Such circumstances lead to seeds of hatred on
Netherlands.
Certia heard by Cut Nyak Dhien from her father and her husband
as if partaking of his feelings, the atmosphere of a terrible and painful war.
Teuku Nanta and Teuku Chik Ibrahim fought along with fighter fighters
others are Teuku Chik Di Tiro, Polem Commander, and them
joined also with Habib Abdurrahman. (Irini Dewi Wanti, 1996: 5)
At the time of Habib's search for Sela Glee Tarum there was a battle
a sudden frontal by the Dutch. This battle is apparently
as the end of Teuku Chik Ibrahim's struggle because he was shot by
The Dutch and the fall left Habib who had betrayed him with
surrendered to the Dutch by going to Mecca and getting allowances
12,000 dollars every year.
Feelings of sadness and disappointment experienced by Cut Nyak Dhien. Fall
the person he loves Teuku Chik Ibrahim and his parents are Teuku Nanta,
gives a question of who will be the successor of the struggle
this. The struggle of the people slackens, while the ideal for
independence is still burning. Who is a loyal friend who can bring
the people of Aceh in the arena of struggle against the Dutch, and who
friend to brainstorm.
This situation began to change in the presence of Teuku Umar as a person
which will subsequently replace Teuku Chik Ibrahim. The Teuku Umar
still one grandfather with Cut Nyak Dhien is an adventurer. Teuku
Umar who is young and hard, and his way of thinking is not easy
suspected, in contrast to Cut Nyak Dhien that is gentle, majestic, wise,
steadfast and patient, the presence of Teuku Umar in Montasik is not just
tactics of all ambition Teuku Umar who want "special" but also a
matchmaking match for the next battle.
The merging of these two knights rekindled the fighting spirit of the people
Aceh. the disintegrated deficiencies are united. Cut Nyak Dhien
and Teuku Umar built a house in Lam Pisang because Lam Padang has
into concentration lien on the Dutch side. Their house was made headquarters
meetings of warriors and religious leaders who spark the spirit
jihad fisabilillah.
Full support comes from Teungku Chik Di Tiro and friends
his arms. Teuku Cut Rayut's younger brother from Cut Nyak Dhien was appointed
as a substitute Uleebalang Teuku Nanta. It is Actually Cut Nyak
Dhien is the key of government. (Irini Dewi Wanti, 1996: 6)
