free from the restraints of the invaders. This is a short Soekarno biography that you must know
as an Indonesian citizen, like one of the quotesthat says "Red Jacket" or "Never forget history"

Soekarno's biography starts from his birth. On June 6, 1901, little Soekarno was born in the
city of Surabaya. Sukarno's real name is Koesno Sosrodiharjo. But because at that time he was
often sick when he was a child, eventually his name was changed to Sukarno.
 Bung Karno was born to a noble family with his father named Raden Soekemi Sosrodiharjo
and his mother, Ida Ayu Nyoman Rai.

During his life, this famous and charismatic president had 9 wives. As for his wives, namely
fatmawati who is also the first lady, Hartini, Haryati, Heldy Djafar, Inggit Gamasih, Kartini
Manopo, Oetari, Ratna Sari Dewi and Yurik Sanger.

From the nine wives, Soekarno was blessed with several sons and daughters, namely
Megawati Soekarno Putri, Mohammad Guruh Irianto Soekarno, Rachmawati Soekarno Putri,
Sukmawati Soekarno Putri, Taufan Soekarno Putra, Bayu Soekarno son, Totok Suryawan,
Kartika Dewi Soekarno, Ayu Gembirowati, Rukmini Soekarno, and Guntur Soekarno Putra.

 Bung Karno and his childhood

Little Soekarno did not live with his parents in Blitar, but instead stayed with his grandfather

R. Hardjokromo, in Tulungagung. After completing school at Hoogere Burger School, he moved

to the house of HOS Tjokroaminoto, who was none other than Soekarno's father's friend. HOS

Tjokroaminoto is a founding figure of Islamic organizations, namely Sarekat Islam (SI). From

this, Sukarno became acquainted with the leaders of the SI leaders, such as H. Agus Salim

His talent that was so great with diplomacy was seen from a small age. When he was young,

soekarno began to learn to make speeches and politics. He learned to speak in front of a mirror in

his room. Through his passion for practicing the speech, Bung Karno then grew to become a

figure who was so authoritative and great at giving speeches.

After Bung Karno graduated from the Tecnische Hoge School or is now an ITB, he founded

a study group (Algemeene Studie Club) which was the forerunner to the founding of founding

the PNI (Indonesian Naional Party).

The Indonesian National Pary has a srong goal of expelling the invaders and realizing the

independence that the Indonesian people aspire to.

  Education Ir. Soekarno

From Soekarno's biography, we can also find out about his education history.Soekarno in his

biography is known as a very intelligent figure in building city planning, especially the current

capital of Indonesia, DKI Jakarta.

have become landmarks of the city of Jakarta itself. Behind his intelligence, this is the recorded

educational history in Soekarno's history:

 Soekarno's Life Journey

The history of Soekarno became the first Indonesian president, starting with his activity in

several organizations he had participated in. After graduating from Hoogere Burger School

(HBS) in 1920, he continued to study at Technische Hoogeschool or THS (which is now

ITB). So that on May 25, 1926 he held the title of engineer.

After graduating, he was active in politics, one of which was establishing the Indonesian

National Party (PNI) on July 4, 1927. It was from this action that made Soekarno's figure a figure

that was feared by the invaders. So that he was imprisoned and even exiled by the Dutch.

Ir. Soekarno was released after the Japanese occupation in 1942. At the beginning of

colonialism, Japan did not pay more attention to the figures of the Indonesian movement. But
until finally, Japan realized the abilities of these characters. Until Japan began to take advantage

of the leaders of this independent Indonesian movement.

Bung Karno and the other leaders tried their best to achieve the independence that was

always aspired. Among them by compiling the basics of state government, Pancasila, the 1945

Constitution, and the text of the proclamation

After going through a very long and not easy struggle, finally in history recorded on August

17, 1945, Soekarno and Mohammad Hatta proclaimed Indonesian independence. And the day

after, at the PPKI session on August 18, 1945 Ir.Soekarno was chosen unanimously to become

the President of the First Republic of Indonesia.

But his struggle was not enough until that, after the proclamation of Indonesian independence

many allies did not recognize Indonesia's independence. Even they are trying to regain power in

Indonesia. Luckily Soekarno's fighting spirit and other relentless fighters were able to get past all

of that.

series of treatments in Vienna, Austria in 1961. In 1964 Prof. Dr. K Fellinger from the Faculty of

Medicine at the University of Vienna suggested that his kidneys be lifted. But Soekarno refused

and preferred to do traditional medicine

To be exact on Sunday, June 21, 1970 Ir Soekarno passed away at the Central Army Hospital

(RSPAD) Gatot Subroto, Jakarta. He was buried in his residence at Wisma Yaso, Jakarta. Then

he was buried in Blitar, near his mother's tomb.

 The father of this proclamation greatly contributed to the peace of Indonesia today. he was

willing to risk his life for the land that he loved so much. Even until he was imprisoned, thrown

away and exiled, he never deterred his intention to defend Indonesia's independence.
