Inggit

Today, February 17th, is the birthday of a warrior whose services are very big. Even though she is a woman and is not highly educated, her services in liberating this country cannot be measured by anything, equal or even more than other fighters.

The advantage is, even though he made a big contribution, and is still alive 39 years after the Indonesia he fought for independence, he did not get anything from the government, from the state. Nothing. He lives as he is not to say suffering. Live from his toil.

Even his only request to the state, for a place to bury his body, was rejected. The only request that was rejected was also really sad.

But his misery did not end there. There's still something more heartbreaking. That is, despite his great service, to this day, 34 years after he died, he has never been awarded the title of national hero even though it has been repeatedly proposed.

It is an insult, which is regrettable. Surprisingly, not many are worried about it, not even the community where he was born. That there is a fighter with enormous services for this nation should be the pride of his homeland. And if the fighter is not recognized with the title of hero, there should be objections, restlessness. Surprisingly, all were silent.

That hero, PANTAS INGGIT GARNASIH, a warrior from the land of Sunda who was born in Kamasan Village, Banjaran District, Bandung Regency, February 17, 1988. Alfateha, may she have the best place on the side of the Creator.
