These 9 main values ��are proof that Gus Dur became a plural person who dared to defend and fight for the rights of oppressed people over differences. The speaker stated that the racism conflict which had heated up in Indonesian society in the name of ethnicity, race, and religion was a form of effort for those groups who only wanted division to occur in Indonesia.
