Mahmodin

Mahmodin was a civil servant in Waru, Madura, who became a victim of the political climate during Indonesia's New Order era. In 1971, after the first elections under this regime, he was detained by military personnel due to his perceived non-compliance with the government's policy of 'monoloyalitas,' which required public officials to vote for the ruling Golkar party. His experience reflects the broader issues of military involvement in civilian affairs and the suppression of political dissent during that period.
