| Summary: | This article is inspired by Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas’s notion on
Westerners’ inclinations of their observation of the Malay World. In this context,
Al-Attas claims that a majority of Western researchers tend to take for granted
the role of Islam. In contrast, they seem to recognize the significant influence of
Hinduism in the Malay history and culture. Taking into consideration of
Al-Attas’s notion, this article attempts to observe the viewpoints of three Western
researchers: N. J. Krom (1950) in De Hindoe-Javaansche Tijd; Bernard H. M.
Vlekke (1959) in Nusantara: A History of Indonesia; and J. C. Van Leur (1955)
in Indonesia: Trade and Society. Observation on these writings reveals a pattern
of inclination in presenting Hinduism as a dominant influence to the Malay
culture. This inclination also explains the stance of these writings on Islam,
which could not compete with the prominent influence of Hinduism in the Malay
World |
