Diversity in Indonesia

How do hate speech and online narratives shape the realities of minority communities in South Africa? How do they work to combat such hatred? An interview project among NGOs in South Africa has explored this issue, providing valuable insights into their various strategies. 

The majority of Indonesia’s population are Sunni Muslims. Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, and other religious minorities also have deep historical roots in the country.

Bali is a city of unique diversity, where the majority of the population identify as Hindus. Other religious groups, including Muslims, Catholics, Protestants, and Buddhists, live on the island.

The presence of religious buildings, both from a historical and contemporary perspectives, highlights the religious diversity and co-existence within a country. These structures often reflect the intricate fabric of religious plurality that has shaped the nation’s identity and are celebrated as an integral part of its national heritage.
