Homecoming
Indonesian
society in general Lebaran or Idul Fitri, routinely return home aka homecoming.
Them no matter how hard he faced for Lebaran. Such as: overcrowded in kareta,
huddled in the bus, and long traffic jams on the way. So also if you wear a
motorcycle with the risk of heat and rain. All this is done in order to
celebrate Eid at home, as well as to a means of gathering with relatives.
Homecoming is a tradition where they have widths. Millions of Indonesian people
who migrate in droves to return home. Going home or returning home is awaited
and it is also one of its own happiness, because they are always eager to
return to the origin of which is my hometown and will miss the love and
affection of both parents caress the beloved.
Not just
the culture of Indonesian society, but it has become part of a tradition or a
civilization of the Muslims in Indonesia and other Asian countries, and has
become a modern lifestyle of people who live in urban areas, who come from other
areas, namely in the village Lebaran , part of the spirit of "Welcoming
Eid". Mutual visiting between relatives, between neighbors and friends,
are part of the routine activities carried out when Eid. With this activity,
family members and relatives find each other, even gathered in one place. The
neighbor also saw each other each other, also with known friends. Departing
from all this, of course, be the occasion of Eid momentum and happiness for us
all.
Homecoming
tradition that has always been associated with Eid, occur early to mid 1970s,
when Jakarta featured as one of the major cities in Indonesia, which
experienced a remarkable progress. Jakarta under the leadership of Governor Ali
Sodikin (1966-1977), successfully transformed into a metropolitan city. For
residents of other cities, especially those hick, a city of dreams Jakarta,
Jakarta into the shelter in the village lout who are not lucky and in Jakarta
as if it would be rich. More than 80% of the urbans comes to Jakarta just to
find a job. In Jakarta sinking their existence, while the social legitimacy of
their existence as well not come. That is why their presence in Jakarta will be
able to meet his expectations. Eid is the right moment for it, because on the
day of Eid is no religious dimension, there is legitimacy as if Eid is a great
time for pilgrimage. Home to my hometown is the camouflage of the spirit of
social legitimacy and demonstrate its existence.
That is
beginning to return home or be a homecoming tradition that seems to have
cultural roots. So in fact, the tradition of homecoming is caused by social
problems and not at all based on the cultural roots. Most of the travelers it
is a group of lower middle income people who want to show to the public udiknya
in Jakarta as if they have achieved success. Indeed Lebaran in Indonesia does
not have a tradition of cultural roots, but rather due to social problems due
to a centralized government and Jakarta as the center of everything at that
time. Considering most of the travelers are those who have not been able to
live and live well established in Jakarta, then Lebaran become an important
momentum for them to legitimize its presence in the capital, according to him
they have achieved material success and social. Regardless of the background of
the rise of the homecoming tradition, which caused problems over the years
before and after the Eid is always the same.
