The daughter of a former Indonesian president will leave Islam and convert to Hinduism

Sukmavati will become a Hindu in a religious ceremony

A year ago, radical Islamic groups accused Sukmawati of serious defamation.

Jakarta: Sukmawati, the daughter of former Indonesian President Sukarno, has decided to renounce Islam and convert to Hinduism. He will take part in a mahapuja on October 26 and at the same time convert to Hinduism, according to a report on CNN Indonesia.

The event will be held at the Sukarno Heritage Area on Tuesday. Sukmawati is the third daughter of the former President of Indonesia and the younger sister of former President Meghawati Sukarnoputri. Sukmawati, 70, currently lives in Indonesia. Fundamentalist Islamic groups also filed a defamation suit against Sukmawati last year.

In fact, Sukmawati published a poem of her own. Islamic fundamentalists at the time accused Sukmawati of insulting Islam. After the incident, Sukmawati also demanded a public apology for her poem. However, the controversy does not seem to have subsided, as he continues to be criticized from time to time.

It is worth mentioning that Indonesia has the highest number of adherents of Islam in the world, not only that but Indonesia also ranks first among the countries with the largest Muslim population in the world. Sukmavati's father Sukarno was Indonesia's president when Indonesia's relations with India were very good.
