| Summary: | The topic of relations of several religious groups in the world from different
perspectives has been a hot issue among researchers and stakeholders. This article
addresses the future relations between the majority and minority religious groups,
particularly a case study of Bugis Muslims and Bugis Hindus known as Towani
Tolotang who live in a harmonious life in South Sulawesi seen from Indonesian
contemporary perspective. The present article is based on our research conducted
in 2017 and 2018. The results show that Muslim majority and Hindu minority have
been living in a dynamic and harmonious life because they have shared similar Bugis
cultural background and tradition. In addition, the honesty of Bugis Muslims
towards Bugis Hindus has contributed to a conducive living atmosphere. In addition,
the existence of equality for the socio-politico status and economic endeavour for the
Muslim majority and Hindu minority has brought them into a good social life. So,
both communities may enjoy a long period of peaceful and prosperous coexistence
in Indonesian modern life. |
