In Indonesia till this day we refer to "teacher" as "Guru", honorable teacher will be "Guru Mulya" or "Tuan Guru"

@byron-ih2ge yes, prime minister we say Perdana Mentri

@byron-ih2ge yes in Indonesia honorifics are more Sanskrit influenced, for example minister is Mentri here. And for regular public subjects (maths, science, etc) teacher we say "guru", but for islamic religious teacher we say "Ustad", and for christian priest we say "pendita", and for hindu priest we say "pedanda"

@byron-ih2ge yes indonesia is muslim majority country now but the sanskrit and hindu culture has already been intacted in our life for generations.. all military mottoes most of them use sanskrit.. indonesians also now even being muslims have Hindu/Sanskrit names.. for example aditya, putri, prameswari, narendra, arya, chandra, indra, suryo, etc

@byron-ih2ge yes jakarta = Jaya and Krta.. it used to be called Jayakarta before the Dutch came and when the Dutch changed its name into Batavia, the term Batavia was returned back to Jayakarta after Indonesia gained independence, but locals made an abreviated form becoming simply "Jakarta". And yes im javanese from my fathers side and the traditional wedding is very hindu influenced, when my sister was married, she wore a bhindi sort of thing on her forehead but it was not circle like Indian bhindi, but its shape has already been javanized, that culture must hve come from india maybe thousands of years back, and many more.. like pouring rose water, etc

@byron-ih2ge yes indonesian names even sometimes are mixture of islamic and hindu, for example many people here have the name "Muhammad Aditya", "Chandra Aziz", "Arif Putra", "maryam prameswari", etc

@byron-ih2ge that statue is being built in Bali island, a province with 97% hindus. And for fatwa yes there is an ulama council in Indonesia and sharia is practiced in Acheh province.

@byron-ih2ge the thing is that its more javanese culture intacted rather than a hindu thing. other than javanese, other ethnic groups like Sundanese, Palembang, Malay, Bugis, Banjarese, people also have some pre Islamic culture in their wedding ceremonies still practiced. its been there for generations since Indonesian people embraced Islam during the 14th century or something, and in those ceremonies there are Islamic prayers conducted in the wedding ceremony like Du'a, tahlil, namaz, etc, as though there are no practices going against Islamic sharia, its no problem. if you want to see real hindu wedding, then you can see a Balinese wedding. fun fact, the only province in Indonesia which is abiding by Sharia is Acheh located on the northern tip of Sumatra (close to andaman nicobar), and despite an Islamic province of Indonesia, its province has a motto which is "Panchachitta" (5 goals) surprisingly in Sanskrit not arabic haha

@byron-ih2ge well thats complicated thing bro because allthough we r muslim majority now, the hindu heritage is just cultural and symbolic used in language, tradition, etc which current indonesians dont realize anymore.. for example there is a mosque in Indonesia by the name "masjid garuda sakti", surprising for indians but normal for indonesians because the mosque is situated in the housing compound of Garuda airlines and people named the mosque "garuda shakti mosque", well its something already inherited in the dna of indonesians so they have already living with it not even realizing its hindu/sanskrit heritage

@byron-ih2ge yes those names are not considered as hindu anymore, more considered as javanese name.. i have a Muslim friend who graduated from Islamic boarding school and he's name is "Wisnu".. normal thing haha
1
@byron-ih2ge yes off course
1
@byron-ih2ge yes, although malaysia and Indonesia was united by srivijaya and Majapahit kingdoms back then, now they have abandoned using original malay/sanskrit names.. most of them use arab names. but some still use sanskrit names like "puteri" but its very few, unlike Indonesia where the most popular female name here is "putri".. my sister's name is also "putri"
