Famous Multatuli Quotes

“The whole of Java is immediately subject to the Netherlands. There is no question of tribute, or levy, or alliance. The Javanese is a Dutch subject. The King of the Netherlands is his king. The descendants of his former princes and lords are Dutch officials. They are appointed, transferred, promoted, dismissed by the Governor-General, who rules in the name of the King. The criminal is convicted and sentences under a law made in The Hague. The taxes the Javanese pays flow into the Exchequer of the Netherlands.”
