The Relevance of Carok and Settong Dara from a Historical Perspective to Reduce Madura’s Negative Stigma

Abstract

Madura is an area in East Java that has a negative stigma from the wider community. This is inseparable from the existence of Carokas a last resort to solve problems for the Madurese people. It is necessary to reconstruct through historiography to reduce the negative stigma. In some previous studies, it examined Carokwhich was reviewed from the law in Indonesia and the history of the Madurese people to the character of the Madurese people. However, the research has not explained the history of the conflict, especially Carokin Madura. Therefore, researchers use historical methods to explore Carok 's history in detail to know the development of Carokand its relevance to Settong Dara, the values of Carok, and Carok 's understanding of efforts with Settong Dara to reduce negative stigma in Madurese society. The research results obtained are that Carokwas known during the Dutch colonial period. At that time, dutch people were moved to challenge the Dutch after the death of Sakera. However, the Dutch fought tomake the image of celuritand Madura ugly. Before committing Carok, the two sides in the dispute must first meet the requirements. In the present time, this requirement has been ignored by some people, causing a shift in the meaning of Carokwhich causes a negative stigma. If examined further, various values in Carokwill be known.
