Freemasonry in the Dutch East Indies

Freemasonry in the Dutch East Indies was a type of organization that was popular in the Dutch East Indies, which are now Indonesia, during the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was a group of people who shared a common interest in learning more about themselves, their beliefs, and the world around them. It was similar to today's fraternities and sororities, where people of a certain background come together to socialize, network, and help each other. The members of a Freemasonry group would take part in activities like traveling together, studying sacred texts and sharing ideas. They often created secret passwords and handshakes so that only members could recognize each other. Freemasonry also promoted understanding and tolerance among its members, regardless of their social rank or background.
