Then he worked as a writer and journalist in several newspapers including Sediotomo, Midden Java, De Expres, Oetoesan Indies, Kaoem Moeda, Tjahaja Timoer, and Poesara. In his time, he considered the author reliable. Writings communicative and sharp with the anti-colonial spirit.

BO's first congress in Yogyakarta are also organized by him.

But column khd most famous is "If I'm A Dutch" (original title: "Als ik eens Nederlander was"), published in the newspaper De Expres-led DD, in 1913. The contents of this article was very hot in the Dutch East Indies government officials. Written quotations include the following.
"If I were a Dutchman, I'm not going to hold parties in the country's independence which we have taken his own independence. Parallel to that way of thinking, not only unjust, but did not deserve to get the natives to give donations to fund the celebration. Idea for menyelenggaraan celebration would have been insulted them, and now we also rake in his pocket. Let's keep going in physical and spiritual insult it! If I were a Dutchman, it is particularly offends me and my friends countrymen is the fact that the natives are required to join an activity fee There is not the slightest interest for him ".
Several Dutch officials doubt that this paper made by the original Soewardi own because of different language styles of his writings prior to this. Even if true that he is writing, they think DD role in stirring up Soewardi to write with such style.
As a result of this writing he was arrested with the approval of the Governor-General Idenburg and will exiled to the island of Bangka (at his own request). However, the two colleagues, DD and Tjipto Mangoenkoesoemo, protested and eventually three of them were exiled to the Netherlands (1913). These three figures known as "Three Men". Soewardi was then just 24 years old.
In Exile
In exile in the Netherlands, is active in the organization Soewardi students from Indonesia, Indische Vereeniging (Indies Association).
It was here that he later pioneered the ideals of the natives advancing science education by learning to get Europeesche Deed, a prestigious educational certificates that would be establishing a foothold in the establishment of educational institutions. In this study Soewardi hooked on the ideas of Western education leaders, such as Froebel and Montessori, and the movement of Indian education, Santiniketan, Tagore family. This influences the underlying in developing their own educational systems.
Taman Siswa
Soewardi returned to Indonesia in the month of September 1919. Soon later he joined his brother in a school built. Teaching experience is then used to develop the concept of teaching for the school that she founded on July 3, 1922: Onderwijs Nationaal Instituut Tamansiswa or Tamansiswa National University. When he was 40 years of age of reckoning the Javanese calendar, he changed his name to Ki Hajar Dewantara. He no longer uses knighted in front of his name. This is so that he can freely close to the people, both physical and mental.
The motto in the education system is now worn very well known in education circles Indonesia. Intact, the slogan that reads Javanese tulada sung ngarsa ing, associate mangun ing initiative, tut wuri handayani. ( "in front of a model, in the middle of building on the spirit, from the back support"). This motto is still used in the education of the Indonesian people, especially in schools Tamansiswa Universities.
Education motto Ki Hajar Dewantara
In its struggle against the education of their people, Ki Hajar Dewantara which has the motto Tut Wuri Handayani (from the back of a teacher should be able to provide encouragement and direction), intermediate mangun ing initiative (in the middle or between students, teachers must create initiatives and ideas), and ing ngarsa sung tulada (in front, an educator must give an example or examples of good actions). This motto is still used in our education, especially in schools Taman Siswa.
Education Heroes Indonesia
At his age even 40 years, Ki Hajar Dewantara revoke his nobility and changed its original name Raden Mas Soewardi Soerjaningrat to Ki Hajar Dewantara. This is intended so he can freely close to the people, both physically and liver. During the Japanese occupation, Ki Hajar Dewantara appointed as one of the leaders in the organization's Son together with Ir. Soekarno, Drs. Mohammad Hatta and K.H. Mas Mansur. Days of independence Ki Hajar Dewantara appointed Minister of Education and Culture of the first. Ki Hajar Dewantara struggle against Indonesia's education makes him worthy of the education bestowed the title of hero of Indonesia. There was also excessive if his date of birth, May 2 is celebrated as a day to commemorate the national education and as an encouragement for us to continue the initiative and his thoughts on education in Indonesia.
As educational leaders, Ki Hajar Dewantara not like Ivan Illich or Rabrindranath Tagore who had considered the school as a punishment that must be avoided. Ki Hajar view that through education will form a cadre of thinking, feeling, and berjasad independent and believed in his own abilities. Bernafaskan educational direction and berlanggam cultural nationalism.
A figure such as Ivan Illich has called for free from the school community. Deschooling intentions are set out from Ivan Illich assumption that the school is like a factory that students scored in the packages that's for sure. "... For many people, the right to learn are crushed into an obligation to attend school", says Illich. Similarly, Rabindranath Tagore, who had considered the school as if it were a prison. Which he calls "the unbearable torture".
There was a point when every education should be able to lead and change the status quo. And this does not mean that right when school was not considered important. Children are happy, generally still go there. We, and they, know, not subjects, and classrooms that make them feel at home. Instead, friends and meetings. It might, Illich and Tagore wrong. Schools are also wrong if he does not know himself that his role was not as expected so far. He is not a determinant of whether a child fails. He had no right to be formulating future.
However, many people often juxtaposes Ki Hajar Dewantara by Rabindranath Tagore, a thinker, educator, and world-class poet who has successfully laid the foundations of the Indian national education, because they are friends and did have a common vision and mission in its struggle to free his people from backwardness .
Tagore and Ki Hajar equally close to the people, love of independence and pride in the culture of his own people. Tagore never returned knighted (Sir) on the king of England in protest against the violence of British troops in the case of Amritsar Affair. Tagore's actions backed by his love for the people. So it is with ditanggalkannya knighted (Raden Mas) by Ki Hajar. This background desire to be closer to the people from all walks of life. Between Ki Hajar by Tagore was also a figure who both love freedom and culture of his own people. Chosen field of education and culture as a terrain of struggle is inseparable from the "strategy" to escape from the shackles of colonialism. The logic of thinking is relatively simple; if people were given an adequate education is wider horizons, thus the desire for an independent body and soul would be higher.
In the west, Paulo Freire comes with the concept of liberation education. Here, Ki Hajar Dewantara became a national hero because of education among the education system he developed in the park students. Expression are well known; "tut wuri handayani", "middle mangun ing initiative", and "ing ngarsa sung tulada". The term the program not only popular with the education, but also on various other aspects of life.
Who was the pioneer of this nation's education?
Who the hell, who does not know the character of this one? Tenacious fighter, a powerful politician, professor of the nation, the founder of Taman Siswa, was already recognized by history. But as a person that hard but soft, the father of a democratic, his simple, junk fans, not many people know. Even how he suddenly called by the name of Ki Hajar Dewantara also not widely known.
