The Dutch colonial government advocated for inter-religious harmony at a local level. The policy was pursued by the the Dutch colonial government out of fear that the Indonesian people would develop a sense of unity and fraternity among them, thereby intensifying the spirit of nationalism.

The tradition, the spirit of harmony, leadership models, and the application of local wisdom are all the key to the survival of inter-religious harmony in Bunga Bondar, South Tapanuli, as findings in research that can be used as a guide or model to build national integrity.
