refer to literature produced in the Indonesian archipelago.

The early literature of Indonesia had a clearly religious function.

Panchatantra- five best Indian fables.

The spirit of Javanese poetry, drama, music, and dance is close to the Indian. The Ramayana and
Mahabharata have virtually influenced the development of these fine arts, furnishing subject matter to them.

with the fourth.

In the modern literature, Malay and Bahasa Indonesian poets were influenced by the Westerners,
particularly by the Dutch.
