In the territory of Indonesia today, the Netherlands itself has two types of territorial relations. There is an absolute nature they are in power to use colonial law. There is also a zelfbesturen nature, in which the legal authority uses local natives. These are the kingdoms that are still running in the Dutch East Indies era. Including the Sultanate of Qadriyah.
So the relationship between the Sultanate and the Netherlands is bilateral. Something that is lawful until now. The consequences of bilateral relations can of course be mutually beneficial, one can also gain one loss, sometimes also give birth to conflict, then fight. This is very easy to understand.
Indeed, in the perspective of the colonial region, for Indonesia it is now very easy to determine who the hero is. Namely, against the Dutch. For example there are natives who refuse, then rebel over labor, he war against the Dutch. Be a hero.
