Menak Jinggo is Banyuwangist most inspiring public figures


In the past Blambangan (Banyuwangi Emperor) was led by Joko Macuet, son of the father and mother Umpidi who lives in Alaspurwo. Get Married to Princess Klonosari alias Tunjungsari, a nephew of Ki Ageng Pamengger.
Klonosari at that time of  7 months pregnant, during the meeting, Joko Macuet seems to have thought, about the letter of incitement that come at midnight, goes something like this; "Joko Macuet death his own son is in the hands" because of fears finally Macuet Joko ordered the Great Buto and Raden Muko to bring his wife (klonosari) to the forest and then killed with his son.
When the middle of the journey, the feeling does not have the heart to the heart Joko macuet second messengers that they also negotiate ahkirnya, then Taking the decision, that they will not kill Klonosari and baby is still in the womb, but then taken to a martial art school Ki Pamengger Agent, they also explain the problem . Ki ageng Pamengger who listen to stories and RadenMuko AgungButo immediately angry but managed to be tempered by two men
After a few months later, the baby was born and then given the name Bambang Menak, after bambang Menak 8-year-old crossed the Buwana released to the forest accompanied by two apprentices. Then he changed the name to Joko Umbaran. Hearing contest organized by the Majapahit kingdom, which says anyone who could defeated Joko Macuet if she was to become the sister Lelono Widi, and if he will be the husband of Queen Kencono Wungu (another name of Tri Buwana Tungga Goddess) and were given land sesigar semongko located on the eastern border between Lumajang and Probolinggo. Then Joko Umbaran overlooked to Queen Kencono Wungu, while there was the hearing in the Kingdom, all of a sudden JokoUmbaran (another name of Damar Wulan) comes with a pupil reported that he was ready to follow contest, but rejected by the duke of Loh Gender and refuted also by the duke of Menak Kuncar, although still children of all decisions in the hands of Queen Kencono Wungu, Once asked to the Queen, Joko Umbaran allowed to participate in contest.
Coming home from Majapahit, Joko Umbaran reported on Ki Ageng Pamengger and to his mother on the subject participation in the contest held by the Majapahit. The mother was weeping bitterly at the news, Joko Umbaran not get blessing from his mother, and for forcing the end of Ki Ageng Pamengger permit him. Before departing contests Joko Umbaran told "if my flowers are wilted, then I died" Joko Umbaran also asked about his "mother? Who is actually my father" by his mother answered that my father was Ki Ageng joko Umbaran Pamengger
With the blessing of Ki Ageng Pamengger, he departs toward the kingdom of Blambangan, to fight Joko Macuet (kebo macuet). Arrived in Blambangan, there is board assemblies and the king holding meeting call Ropyan-ropyan(celebrate gratitude) because Blambangan fertile, prosperous, and peaceful with "OmongNyading (ready to serve the people), Tapi Ojo Di Sading (but not for criticism), Sakti Mondroguno (a knowledge supernatural powers), PapakPalunePande untouchable sharp weapons), diTombak Ngakak (speared was laughing), Di Bedil Mentil (targeted slip) ", while having fun came two teenage boys, Joko Macuet ask them, what purpose it comes to the ground Blambangan, they also introduce myself" I was Joko Umbaran and my home from somewhere (kaburkanginan / not clear where it origin) this is my companion PanDeres name. Our purpose coming here was to follow seyembara kingdom of Majapahit "Joko heard Umbaran, Joko Macuet laughed and told them to go home but insisted Joko Umbaran not want to go home, Joko Macuet was furious, and the battle (the son and father) very short period of tremendous progress, Joko Macuet ended with the victory.
See plants and flowers wilt Tunjungsari Ki Ageng Pamengger kingdom come Blambangan, fainted at the sight JokoUmbaran, Ki Ageng Pamengger issued a powerful heritage, the inheritance was appointed to wake Joko Umbaran, having regained consciousness Joko Umbaran crying, quietly and with determination after burning, JokoUmbaran JokoMacuet continue his fight, but before Joko fight Umbaran admonished, that should not be fighting JokoUmbaran but must be held by Joko Macuet asked, after a long and fierce battle finally Joko Umbaran weakened, and ask to be carried by Macuet, then Macuet carrying with withered eyes, whispered something to finally JokoUmbaran JokoMacuet and fell both. The victory won by JokoUmbaran because he can still stand upright is JokoMacuet declare surrender and hand over power to JokoUmbaran (another name for an alias Damarwulan Menak Jinggo an honorary degree the king after the inaugurated
JokoUmbaran very sorry for the big fight, which was performed on ignorance, why did he have to fight against his own father. with awareness and by order of power by JokoMacuet penyerahaan he became King Blambangan, given the name of greatness with a degree Andhiko Prabusakti Menak Jinggo Blambangan, on condition not to return to the Majapahit, and oppose all interference power of Majapahit, in the Land Blambangan, it's a testament Kebo Menak Kebo Macuet alias alias name JokoMacuet in childhood.
Majapahit was furious against Joko umbaran (Damarwulan / alias MenakJinggo) because they have betrayed the majapahit. Finally there was an attack to the royal Blambangan, with small-scale forces as the Majapahit was in decline after the resignation Hayamwuruk, and the grand vizier Gajamada of government, with the support of allies from the kingdom of Bali, all attacks against Blambangan is not so meaning to Minak Jinggo.
Minak jinggo King (JokoUmbaran / Damarwulan) is so big and tough with the support of allies Kingdom of Bali, MenakJinggo is most opposed to the King of Majapahit Kingdom, on the political dominance of small kingdoms. So Majapahit to engineer, in order that the King Blambangan or MenakJinggo disliked by his own people, distort the fact that Menakjinggo it impressed like: Giant, greedy, cruel, like mating, and other bad image attached to him. Bad image is not just a wara-wara / political agitation but also shaped the script, drama Janger folk art, even mythological
Up to the present day society in general is still chaotic, and confused with the story confusing, and some drama also still deviate from the logic of common sense, how could a child not told that he is the father of King Balambangan and her husband (klonosari) itself only because of the accusations are not fundamental. With a story that I present this little hopefully awaken my brothers and sisters of politics would provoke, yesterday, today and for tomorrow.
thing to remember is that Blambangan kingdom that can not be conquered by Majapahit until the end, the Dutch colonists seized Blambangan. Blambangan never give up on any invader, even though the war destroyed much puputan Bayu Blambangan troops, but the spirit and philosophy menak Jinggo marvelous godo kuning  attached to his successors in our hearts.
