Enduring the Gimmicks and Polemics: Digital Performance of Religious Minorities During the Pandemic

Wednesday Forum – 01 March 2023

Despite the constitutional safeguard of Indonesia’s constitution, they were enshrined in Art. 28E, 28I, and 29, the freedom of religious expression is complicated. Many religious minority communities and irreligious individuals were suffering discrimination. The burden is manifold for those beyond the fringe of six government-sponsored religions, such as Baha’ism, Sikhism, Taoism, Judaism, ancestral faiths, and many spiritual movements (Penghayat).
The COVID-19 pandemic surprisingly encouraged social solidarity, often to the point of interfaith engagement. Despite numerous reports of women, diffables (disabilities), and other marginal groups encountering challenges, they, including religious minorities, immediately tuned in and found a decent place within the solidarity. Pandemics forced religion to immerse into the digital realm much deeper, along with its painful consequences. For sure, it cast a long shadow on digital engagements, while marginal communities could and probably would embrace it in the coming days of post-pandemic.
The reality on the ground is complicated. The digital platform, which includes numerous digital services, including social media (socmed), once offered hope for a more democratic social space and a place for minority groups to express their religiosity much freer. On the other hand, it is growing to embrace the democratic nemesis, such as becoming hate-speech and other digital illnesses enablers.
Against the above complicated and contradictory situation, between promise and unpropitious situation, there is an urgency to gauge the digital performance of religious minority communities during the pandemic. The present paper focuses on religious minority communities’ experiences in digital engagement, ranging from Confucians to Penghayat.

Almost all countries in the world have Chinatowns, Almost all countries in the world have Chinatowns, Indonesia is no exception. 

In fact, the relationship between the people of China and the Indonesian Archipelago has been going on for two millennia. It is only natural that Chinese culture strongly influences Indonesian culture today.

However, the character of Chinatowns on the Archipelago is as diverse as their history and relations with local communities.

God save the king! Around 500 years ago, King Hen God save the king!

Around 500 years ago, King Henry VIII was awarded by Pope Leo X the title Fidei Defensor or "Defender of Faith" for his defense of the Catholic Church. He subsequently broke away and then declared independence from Catholic Rome, thus becoming the first head of the Church of England. 

Now, the title is inherited by Charles III who lead a kingdom that has seen both significant secularization and growth in non-Christian minorities over the last twenty years.

What the monarchy’s long relationship with religious plurality may look like under the new sovereign?
