About Perhimpoenan Indonesia

Perhimpoenan Indonesia or PI was an Indonesian student association in the Netherlands in the first half of the twentieth century. It was established under the Dutch name Indische Vereeniging. It changed its name to Indonesische Vereeniging in 1922, and to its Malay translation Perhimpoenan Indonesia in 1925. Although small in membership numbers – throughout the period between 30 and 150 members – the organisation was important because it was one of the first to campaign for Indonesian independence, and because many PI students would later acquire prominent political positions in the independent state of Indonesia.
