Before reading the text of the proclamation on August 17, 1945, there were important events that should not be forgotten. This important event is the struggle of independence leaders or fighters to be able to immediately liberate Indonesia.
Beginning On 12 August 1945, through Marshal Terauchi in Dalat, Vietnam, told Soekarno, Hatta and Radjiman that the Japanese government would immediately give independence to Indonesia. Nevertheless Japan wanted Indonesian independence on August 24th. Two days later, when Soekarno, Hatta and Radjiman returned to their homeland from Dalat, Syahrir urged Sukarno to immediately proclaim independence because he considered the outcome of the meeting in Dalat to be a Japanese ruse.
August 16, 1945, the turmoil of pressure in the background by the followers of Sutan Syahrir who wanted Indonesian takeover of power from Japan was mounting and uncontrolled. During the day they gathered at Hatta's house, and around 10pm at Soekarno's house. About 15 young men demanded that Soekarno immediately proclaim independence through radio, followed by the takeover of power. They also rejected PPKI's plan to proclaim independence on August 16.
Usually towards August 17, Indonesian people will begin to be preoccupied with various activities that can cause a sense of nationalism.
It aims to remember the heroes when they will win independence for the sake of the Indonesian people.
