A short essay „The Development of a New Religion in Central Kalimantan” 
was published as an advance notice in several periodicals in 2007. I 
announced, that the following edition would be edited with „Balai 
Penerbit Amu Lanu Pontianak”. But there is censorship for book 
publications in Indonesia. The contents of a book may not be against the 
ideology of Indonesian Pancasila.

The above mentioned book uses sources from 1849 and compares tribal 
religion 160 years ago with the present high religion Agama Hindu 
Kaharingan which is acknowledged and subsidized by the government. Of 
course, critizising a religion disturbs the religious peace. So the 
publishing houses did not dare to edit my book. One publisher, however 
made the layout for copies and corrected my old fashioned Indonesian 
into modern language. So I am able to offer the copies from several 
places to interested scholars at a very economic price. If you buy the 
book in Indonesia, the money received is given to an asrama for people 
with mental diseases.

First and foremost, the book is dedicated to educated Dayaks and 
Indonesians. A crucial problem of modern western anthropological 
writings is, that one cannot differentiate between the tradition and 
doctrine of the tribal culture and the opinion and conviction of the 
western scientist (cf. beginning with Schaerer up to the present 
anthropologists in USA and Western Europe). So above every chapter (for 
instance „marriage”) I have put some verbal extracts from the curriculum 
for High Schools (recognised by the government !). So everybody can 
differentiate between what is original doctrine and my interpretation of it.

According to my interpretation my writing would help Indonesian young 
scholars to learn about the wealth of their history, tradition and 
culture besides paying attention to exact sciences. (Author)
