摘要:In 2008 a band of marauders attacked the historical site Macan Putih, situated a few miles outside Banyuwangi in East Java. They crossed the encircling wall, destroyed two statues that stood inside a ritual building, and stole a sheet that covered the shrine. This act of vandalism illustrates the highly contentious significance of some heritage sites in modern Indonesia. Macan Putih was a palace compound inhabited by the heroic ruler Tawang Alun of Blambangan in the seventeenth century, which was rediscovered in the 1970s. While it serves as a component of the conceived heritage of this area, some Javanese and Madurese Muslims have seen the local interest in the past as a revival of Hinduism, or as heresy, and taken drastic measures against it.
