The colors red and white are inspired by the banner of the Majapahit Empire which once ruled Indonesian (also Singaporean and Malaysian) territory. There are two versions of the banner. The first one looks like Indonesian flag (red over white) and the second one looks like the red and white stripes in American flag (this version is currently being the naval ensign of Indonesia). The banner of Majapahit also inspired the flag of Malacca (and later on also Malaysia) and the flag of Singapore.
The significance of the colors:
- Red is a symbol of bravery, courage (to fight colonialism, esp. in the independence war)
- White is a symbol of purity and sacred soul
The colors of the flag are sometimes also interpreted as:
- Red symbolizes the blood shed by Indonesians
- White symbolizes the bones of Indonesians
== The combination between red and white (blood and bone) symbolizes the body of Indonesians which is dedicated to the nation.
So, the flag of Indonesia is actually not that simple. It is a hope and a commemoration of old glory, a sacred symbol of bravery and purity, and a patron of the great nation of Indonesia.
