Talk:Sembah

On attempts of "nationalizing" entry contents
Can we agree on not putting nationalist slants on entries regarding customs belonging to cultures that span more than one country? There are clearly references that state the sembah custom to be practiced officially in countries other than Indonesia. Plus, the entry tends to primarily mention practice according to ethnic groups, not nations: Javanese and Minangkabau communities do exist not only in Indonesia, but also in Malaysia - I happen to be a descendant of the latter community. And there is mention of practice among the Malays: surely these people exist in certain provinces of Indonesia like Kalimantan and Riau.

I hope Indonesian editors especially can understand that the "exclusivist" attitude can be pretty volatile, especially as disputes have happened because a party does not believe that cultural transfers can happen before borders were set by modern post-colonial politics. This sort of thing has been happening in entries related to general ethnic groups in the archipelago too causing intervention at times. --Anumengelamun (talk) 09:48, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
