Verification[edit]

There was some conjecture over the meaning of Nasakom, hence I created this stub (a notable topic and should have been done before). I've included a dictionary reference, but all the following also mention NASAKOM and it's expression of Sukarno's Nationalism, religion, and communisim blend. Let me know if these are also required - to satisfy any lingering doubts.

But I suggest dictionary reference is adequate. While the question of NASAKOM's credibility is debated, no-one questions that Sukarno intended it to stand for Nationalism, religion, communism. --Merbabu (talk) 00:38, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
