Continuity after Colonialism

ART

Despite the arrival of the Europeans, the local art forms which Dutch East Indies is well-known for continues to flourish.
-Eg: traditional bali handicraft.
 
LANDSCAPE.

most parts of the country left untouched by urban development --> those not considered to be urban centres
rural areas provide opportunity for breath-taking scenery etc etc
wild life + fauna
 
 
WAY OF LIFE.

wet rice cultivation remained traditional
indigenous age-old techniques preserved despite influx of europeans.
continuity of sultans. --> traditional hierarchy preserved
