Bung Hatta was a calm figure and not a fiery figure like his friend Bung Karno. But who would have thought that Bung Hatta would be able to write a very sharp and straightforward critique, in cold language. Our Democracy analyzes the actual situation during the Old Order era, where Bung Hatta saw signs that Indonesian democracy was beginning to lead to authoritarianism. Hatta saw this as a dangerous signal and he believed that democracy would never be eradicated from Indonesia. This work was then banned during the Old Order. This book can then be published in the era after that. Demokrasi Kita (Our Democracy) is one of Bung Hatta's magnum opus, a book worth studying for democracy lovers.
