Resistensi dan Adaptasi terhadap Perubahan Sosioedukasi Keagamaan pada Masyarakat Hindu Kota Mataram

Abstract

This study aims to analyze resistance and adaptation to changes in religious socio-education among the Hindu community in Mataram City in the context of modernization and social mobility. The approach used is a qualitative interpretative approach with a descriptive case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions using triangulation of sources and methods. The results of the study indicate that changes in social structure marked by vertical mobility of society, especially the Jaba Wangsa group, encourage the transformation of the stratification system from descent-based to achievement-based. This process gives rise to resistance in the form of differing views regarding religious authority, leadership, and socio-religious representation. On the other hand, adaptation is seen through the strengthening of traditional social systems such as Sidhikara, Krama Pura, Banjar, and Pengamanan Swakarsa, which continue to function as integrative institutions. These systems also serve as ethnopedagogical media in transmitting moral, social, and religious values. Hindu values ​​such as Tat Twam Asi, Tri Hita Karana, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, and Dharma are important foundations in maintaining social harmony, despite the gap between internalization and social practice. In conclusion, the dynamics of religious socio-education show the dialectic between resistance and adaptation that determines the sustainability of social cohesion of the Hindu community in Mataram City and provides implications for strengthening local wisdom-based education in the modern era in a sustainable manner in contemporary Hindu society.
