Talk:Batak (Indonesia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saifuddin Nasution is a famous Batak politician in Malaysia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Malaysian (talk • contribs).
I think this page refer largely to the Batak Toba. FYI, there are at least seven Batak tribes with different languages and tribal ceremonies (adat) and despite the fact that Nommensen was the first missionary to step foot in the Batak land but he was reaching more to the Batak Toba but there are other zending that influenced other tribes such as the Dutch zending reaching towards the Batak Karo. If I have time I might have to revise all that is in here. I suggest to change this subject into Batak Toba (Indonesia) Hendra Sembiring 10:18, 23 June 2006
I donot agree that batak people are not preferred to be called Batak, however, they are famous to be called Tapanuli. Which is coming from the two words tapian and nauli. Tapian means water and nauli means good.Tapanuli means good water. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.27.190.139 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Different Batak groups
I agree that we need to be careful to recognise the different Batak groups. There is a tendency for documentation to focus on Karo (because their traditional lands are around Medan) and Toba (because their traditional lands are around Lake Toba). Lake Toba is not really the geographical centre of Batak traditional lands as far as I am aware. Some Muslim dominated groups, because they identify the word Batak with pig eating Christians, do hesitate to refer to themselves as Batak, but will happily refer to themselves as their own group (eg Mandailing or Tapanuli).--campdog 06:54, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Christianity and Islam
"The Bataks themselves today are mostly Christian with a Muslim minority." Again, I think this statement derived from a Toba/Karo focus and is not really the case if we include other groups such as Mandailing and Tapanuli as Batak (which i think we should). It is though true to say of those groups that identify themselves as openly Batak, that they are predominantly Christian.--campdog 23:52, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
