"Indonesian diaspora" refers to any ethnic in Indonesia living outside of their homeland. The majority of Indonesian expatriates live in '''Malaysia, the U.S., Japan, the U.A.E., Australia, and the Netherlands''', esp. South '''Moluccans''', a predominantly Christian ethnic group found asylum and religious freedom by the thousands in the '''Netherlands''' since the 1950s. | |||
*Over a million '''Minangkabau people''' live outside of Indonesia, mainly in '''Malaysia and Singapore''', but they recently joined the Indonesian emigration to '''Australia, China, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines'''. | |||
*In the Dutch colonial era, vast numbers of '''Javanese''' were sent to other Dutch colonies as '''coulies'''. Most of them were sent to '''Suriname, New Caledonia, and East Sumatra'''. | |||
*In the late 20th century, the '''Javanese''' were introduced to the island of '''New Guinea''' by Indonesian government endorsed '''settlement programs in Papua and West Papua provinces'''. | |||
*Other Javanese live in '''Malaysia, Europe, North America, the Middle East, South Africa and Australia'''. | |||
*During and after the Indonesian National Revolution, which followed the World War II, (1945–1965) around 300.000 people, pre-dominantly '''Indos''', left Indonesia to go to the '''Netherlands'''. This migration was called repatriation. The majority of this group had never set foot in the Netherlands before.<ref>"List of diasporas", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diasporas#I, acessed 7 July 2021.</ref> | |||
