In the city of Solo, Central Java, there is a district called Laweyan. This district is
famous as a region rich people. Most of the population live Laweyan as a
merchant or businessman batik. One in antaraya is Haji Samanhudi. He was born
in 1878 with a small name Sudarno Nadi, little time he obtained the religious
education of Kyai Jadermo in Surabaya. Besides, he also obtained a general
education at primary school Bumiputera Class One.

of various cities like Purwokerto, Bandung, Surabaya and Banyuwangi. He also
established trade relations with the Chinese and Arabic. Thanks to the extensive
trade relations, knowledge Samanhudi multiply. But in the meantime he also
sensed resistance from the colonial government to the commercial activities of
Indonesia. The government gives more generous to foreign traders, especially
China. The materials for making batik monopolized by Chinese merchants, as
middlemen. Batik companies belonging to the Indonesian people can not deal
directly with foreign companies that import these materials. Samanhudi feel it as
something that is very detrimental to merchants Indonesia.
He did not hate the stranger, nor the Chinese, but he was quite feel the
oppression of his nation. Particularly felt is in the fairy livelihood, namely
economic terms. Because of the economic system so that the Indonesian nation
was suffering, as he says "In our country, the inhabitants deliberately stratified,
the highest Dutch, below it is the Chinese nation, being a nation of Earth's son is
under China so the people of Earth son is a nation that is seen as the nation's
most inferior, or third-class nation, even though they live in their own homeland.
The colonizers inculcate in themselves the slaves of our nation. Thus our nation
can continue to be colonized. Therefore, in order to be a noble nation our nation
should be able to throw the slave soul.

the Javanese are feeling the pinch and they come out of the association kong-
Sing.

(Preserving Morals) for the purpose of fraternal mutual help among family
members if anyone died. In the case of mutual help and assist helped H.

founded.
H. Samanhudi has always shown poise and discreet, not anti-Chinese. He never
issued an announcement, if China acted incorrectly, members should give in, but

subscriptions Sarotomo (Arrow Top) issued SDI, letters request its members to
borrow money, bonds, purchasing accounts and so on. The conclusion of the
shakedown, SDI has no intention secret and not bevy harm: Then the Kraton
Surakarta argues that the prohibition against SDI immediately revoked. Similarly
H. Samanhudi and the chairmen of the group SDI trying as hard as possible. get
the ban lifted. Finally, on August 26, 1912, SDI was allowed active again with the
