  1. My issue with the term "Javanese" is that in the Netherlands it only means "Javanese-Surinamese", my step-mother is actually from Java and a Surinamese Javanese person once got angry at her because she called herself "Javanese" which the Surinamese Javanese woman got angry at her because "no, you're Indonesian, we're Javanese", meaning that the term has been completely divorced from the island itself.

  2. The thing is, Java during the 19th century isn't Java in the 21st century, culinary traditions may get lost and new traditions are made overtime. Both Nasi Rames in Indonesia and Hairdresser in the Netherlands are all modern inventions. Most culinary "traditions" aren't as old.

  3. Hindustan is an official alternative name of India together with India and Bharat.
