Singapore and Malaysia are having sizable Indian minorities because Tamil laborers were imported to those counties during the British colonial rule. Indonesia was under the Dutch colonial rule and there was no need for importing laborers from elsewhere. Even then, you can find small Tamil minorities in cities such as Medan and Jakarta.

Indonesia is the prettiest country in the world, besides its beautiful nature tourism, friendly people, ethnic and cultural diversity make Indonesia have the most cultural art in one country, I am sure if you have ever been to Indonesia surely you want to visit back there

you probably meant indonesian right? there are not that many indians living in indonesia (compared to, say, singapore).

Indonesia is a big country rich in culture, a lot of tourist destinations in it, maybe you need one year to visit all the tourist destination in Indonesia, I guarantee you will not get bored

"religious freedom" in indonesia

indonesia has this so-called "religious freedom" where the citizen is free to subscribe to any religion she wants, as long as the religion is among the five sanctioned ones: islam, catholicism, christianity, buddhism, hinduism, and confucianism. oh but if you practice some sort of mysticism, you are also allowed and your religion will be listed as "aliran kepercayaan".

the religion is mentioned in the national ID (and in various fill-out forms companies/organizations will freely ask about your religion even though it's irrelevant, for example if you're opening a bank account, the bank will among others ask about your religion even though it does not have anything to do with your transaction style or risk). huge potential for discrimination.

and what if you want to subscribe to a religion other than the abovementioned ones? sometimes you can if the religion is somewhat related to the sanctioned ones, for example jehovah's witnesses used to be outlawed for being a "false cult", but nowadays it's allowed and JV are opening their churches all over indonesia. other religions might not have similar luck.

and what if you don't want to subscribe to any religion? you can't. you have to choose one, at least to put in your ID card. and if you publicly say that you are an atheist, you will be regarded as a bad and dangerous person. sometimes religious followers will even attack you, the government will put you in jail, or worse.

so, that's religious freedom in indonesia.

well, compared to japan, earthquakes here are pretty damn rare

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, which has a diversity of tribes, cultures, customs, and languages. Indonesia has many islands that have extraordinary beauty in them.

Indonesia is headed by the head of state ie President. The language used by Indonesia is the national language which is the unifying country of Indonesia. Most of the Indonesian population embraced Islam, and some embraced Catholicism, Protestantism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Confucianism (khonghucu).

Indonesian national anthem is Indonesia Raya. Bendera Indonesia red and white, which means red symbolizes courage, white symbolizes holiness. The symbol of the Indonesian state is Garuda Pancasila with the motto of Bhineka Tunggal Ika, meaning "diverse but one".

Therefore I am happy to be born as a nation of Indonesia "Damn I Love Indonesia"

indonesia interesting place, people in indonesia very friendly

I really wanted to visit this country one of my wanted list , I want to explore this vast country and I know I will not regret visiting this country on the future. And I think it's fun lots of thrill and exciting adventures , and I will travel with my families.

Indonesia is a massively populated Muslim country in south east Asia. Indonesia has high rate of natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis and etc. Although I didn't have visited Indonesia yet I hope to travel there in soon future.

I really want to visit this country. I think it has interesting culture and nature. Great photos can be done, in my opinion

I have heard that they have more than 300 different ethnic groups in the province of Iriyan Jaya. Some of the other provinces are also extremely diverse, such as the Moluccas and the East Nusa Tengara. Indonesia is one of the most diverse nations in Asia and there are around 700 different languages spoken around there.

I'm dreaming of visiting that country, I heard only good things about it. A beautiful nature, a friendly people and a tasty food - what else do you need? 

The indonesia country is great a good country , and honestly I never been to indonesia , but someday I will by the great tourist destination and different foods to explore. I can't to explore this country , and my opinion too is indian people is fun.

can you point a reference where it says that illiteracy is increasing?

Indonesia consists of various cultures with each local wisdom different from each other. The diversity is one of the uniqueness of Indonesia as a tourist attraction. Bali is one of the tourist destination that has many beautiful spot, and has a very strong local culture. And many others place in Indonesia that has beautiful place that  are no less good with Bali.

Indonesia is a phenomenal country. The earth is rich, the inhabitants are numerous, the problems are many, the leaders are greedy, the poor continue to grow. illiteracy is also increasing.

although like this, I still love Indonesia. I will keep trying to make Indonesia become advanced

first i am indonesian, so it probably will be subjective opinion, but i have been living here for all my life, so it's not bad actually, to compare with other regions like middle east for example, indonesia is a unique country, it is located in south east asia, the biggest country in south east asia, dominantly moslem, tropical land (that is really important), unique because of it's huge geographically, consist of many many tribes and their local language and tradition,, it will take a lot of time to know Indonesia, the most important thing, i think indonesian people are very warm and friendly (that is also very important)
