The Badui (also known as Kanekes) are the descendants of the Pajajaran princes. Their population of between 5,000 and 8,000 is centered in the Kendeng mountains at an elevation of 300-500 meters above sea level. Their homeland in West Java is contained in just 50 km² of hilly forest area 120 km from Jakarta, Indonesia's megalopolis of high-rises and fast cars. The Baduis are divided into two sub-groups; the Badui Dalam (Inner Badui), and the Badui Luar. (Outer Badui). No foreigners were allowed to meet the Inner Badui, though the Outer Badui do foster some limited contacts with the outside world.

Religion and Beliefs The religion of the Baduis is known as Sunda Wiwitan, and this suggests that their religion is supposed to be Hinduism. However, due to lack of interaction with the outside world, their religion is more related to Kejawen Animism, though they still retain many elements of their original Hindu-Buddhist religion, like the terms they use to define things and objects, and the rituals in their religious activities. A certain amount of Islamic influence has also penetrated into the religion of a few of the Badui Luar in recent years, with some original ideas thrown in for good measure.The ultimate authority is vested in Gusti Nu Maha Suci, who according to the Badui sent Adam into the world to lead the life of a Badui. Basic beliefs What can be said to be common to all Hindus is the belief in Dharma (duties and obligations), Samsara (Reincarnation/rebirth), Karma (actions, leading to a cause and effect relationship), and Moksha (salvation) of every soul through a variety of paths, such as Bhakti (devotion), Karma (action) and...

The Baduis also observe many mystical taboos. They are forbidden to kill, steal, lie, commit adultery, get drunk, eat food at night, take any form of conveyance, wear flowers or perfumes, accept gold or silver, touch money, or cut their hair. Other taboos relate to defending Badui lands against invasion: they may not grow sawah, use fertilizers, raise cash crops, use modern tools for working ladang soil, or keep large domestic animals. Due to their rigid taboo system, the Baduis have remained very backward even in modern times.
There are no proof that they were hindu or animisme origin, in fact they were living proof of early abrahamic (ibrahim) faith. Many century before foreign influence arab (islam) european (christianity) or others etc.

Social Classes Generally speaking, the Baduis are divided into two groups: The Badui Dalam and The Badui Luar. The community of villages in which they live are considered mandalas, derived from the Hindu/Buddhist concept but referring in the Indonesian context to places where religion is the central aspect of life.
The population of about 400 Badui Dalam consists of 40 families Kajeroanl who live in the three villages of Cibeo, Cikaratawarna, and Cikeusik in tanah larangan (forbidden territory) where no stranger is permitted to spend the night. They are probably the purest Badui stock. The Dalam follow the rigid buyut taboo system very strictly,( see Religion and Beliefs for more information about their taboos ) and thus they have made very few contacts with the outside world as they are considered as "People of the sacred inner circle". The Dalam are the only one of these two major clans that have the Pu'un, the spiritual priest of the Baduis. The Pu'un are the only people that visit the most hallowed and sacred ground of the Baduis which lies on Gunung Kendeng, in a place called Arca Domas. Unlike the Luar, the Dalams are hardly influenced by Islam. IslÄm is described as a dÄ«n, meaning way of life and/or guidance. Six articles of belief There are six basic beliefs shared by all Muslims: 1. ...
The Badui Luar make up the remainder of the Badui population, living in 22 villages and acting as a barrier to stop visitors from entering the Sacred Inner circle. They do follow the rigid taboo system but not as strictly as the Dalam, and they are more willing to accept modern influence into their daily lives. For example, some Luar people now proudly sport the colorful sarongs and shirts favored by their Sundanese neighbours. In the past the Badui Luar only wore only their homespun blue-black cloth, and were forbidden to wear trousers. Other elements of civilizations (toys, money, batteries) are rapidly infiltrating especially in the villages to the north, and it is no longer unusual for an outer Badui to make a journey to Jakarta, or even to work outside as a hired hand during the rice planting and reaping seasons. Some even work in big towns and cities like Jakarta, Bogor and Bandung. Animal meat is eaten in some of the outer villages where dogs are trained for hunting, though animal husbandry is still forbidden.

History Many historians believe that the Baduis are the descendants of the aristocracy of the Sunda Kingdom of Pajajaran who lived near Batutulis in the hills around Bogor; their domestic architecture follows most closely the traditional Sundanese architecture. Pakuwan known also as Sunda Kelapa, the capital of Pajajaran, was destroyed by invading Falethan Muslims in 1579. However, the Baduis today are increasingly losing touch with their Hindu culture and increasingly getting closer to nature both in their own religion and their life, as they use no electricity, fertilizer or irrigation techniques in their farming. Another theory suggests that they originate in northern Banten; pockets of people in the northern hills still speak the archaic dialect of Sunda that the Badui use. A Hindu (also spelt Hindoo) is an adherent of philosophies and scriptures of Hinduism, also known as Sanatan (सनातन) Dharma, the predominant religious, philosophical and cultural systems of Bharat (India) and Nepal and the island of Bali A popular name for India is Hindustan, or Land of the Hindus. ...
Education Even today, despite the ways that Suharto tried to force them to change their lives and build modern schools in their territory, the Baduis opposed the government. As a result, very few Baduis are able to read or write. General Haji Mohammad Soeharto (commonly spelled Suharto in the English-speaking world) (born June 8, 1921) was an Indonesian leader and military strongman. ...
