INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INDONESIAN STUDIES SPRING 2016 was marked by one inherent question which went to the core of his political protestations with regard to the rich and the poor, the powerful and the powerless, good and evil, right and wrong, Yes! there are the triumphant, there are the humiliated There are those with guns, there are those with wounds. There are those who sit, there are those who are sat upon. There are those with abundance, those with nothing left. And on whose side do you stand? (Lane, 2009) As an Indonesian and as a writer, Rendra fought for freedom of expression under both the regimes of Sukarno and Suharto. His legacy is his words. Reference Avelling, Harry.
