- Cut Nyak Dhien
Cut Nyak Dhien (long spelling: Tjoet Nja 'Dhien, Lampadang, Kingdom of Aceh, 1848 - Sumedang, West Java, 6 November 1908; buried in Mount Puyuh, Sumedang) is an Indonesian National Hero from Aceh who fought against the Dutch during the Aceh War . After the territory of VI Mukim was attacked, he fled, while her husband Ibrahim Lamnga fought against the Dutch. Ibrahim Lamnga was killed in Gle Tarum on 29 June 1878 which caused Cut Nyak Dhien to be very angry and vowed to destroy the Dutch.
Teuku Umar, one of the figures against the Dutch, proposed to Cut Nyak Dhien. At first Cut Nyak Dhien refused, but because Teuku Umar allowed him to participate in the battlefield, Cut Nyak Dhien agreed to marry him in 1880. They were blessed with a child named Cut Gambang. After his marriage to Teuku Umar, he and Teuku Umar fought together against the Dutch. However, Teuku Umar died while attacking Meulaboh on February 11, 1899, so he fought alone in the interior of Meulaboh with his small army. Cut Nyak Dien was old and had gout and myopic disease, so one of his troops named Pang Laot reported his existence because of compassion. He was finally arrested and taken to Banda Aceh. There he was treated and his illness began to heal. However, its existence adds to the spirit of resistance of the people of Aceh. He is also still in touch with the Acehnese warriors who have not been caught yet. As a result, Dhien was banished to Sumedang. Tjoet Nyak Dhien died on November 6, 1908 and was buried in Mount Puyuh, Sumedang.
