Boigrafy of Imam bonjol

1. Imam Bonjol
Imam Bonjol, also known as Muhammad Syahab, Peto Syarif, and Malim Basa, was
one of the most popular leaders of the Padri movement in West Sumatra.
After founding the state of Bonjol, He became
involved in the Paderi controversy as a Paderi
leader. At first, the Dutch were not able to win
militarily against the Paderis because their
resources were stretched thin by the resistance
in Java. In 1824, the Dutch signed the Masang
Agreement, ending hostilities with the state of
Bonjol.
Subsequently, however, once the Diponegoro
resistance was suppressed, the Dutch attacked
the state of Pandai Sikat in a renewed effort to
gain control of West Sumatra. Despite valiant
fighting by the Indonesians, the overwhelming
power of the Dutch military eventually
prevailed. Imam Bonjol was captured in 1832
but escaped after three months to continue the
struggle from his tiny fortress in Bonjol.
After three years of siege, the Dutch finally
managed to sack Bonjol on August 16, 1837. Through a negotiation ruse, the Dutch
again captured Imam Bonjol and exiled him, first to Cianjur in West Java, then to
Ambon, and later to Manado in Sulawesi. He died on November 6, 1864, at the age
of 92 and is buried in Sulawesi. The site of his grave is marked by a Minangkabau
house.
