Supit Urang Kingdom Malang

The laws of war since the beginning of Indonesian Kingdom ages seems agreed that civilian or non military personal can not be disturbed in war age or after
Means, the falling of a kingdom doesn't mean the falling of its civilizations
In some 1520, on the ex of Singosari Kingdom territory, there was born a Hindu's Kingdom named Supit Urang, big possibility that this Kingdom were the rest of Majapahit loyalist beside Pasuruan, Panarukan, Blambangan and Bali
As known that Majapahit had been defeated by Islam Demak in 1518
By territories Supit Urang were not large, its territories covered Batu, Karuman, Kanjuruhan, and Singosari so nearly as big as Malang City now days. But, for sure these were unofficially territories cause all the ex Majapahit should belong to Demak as the winner of the battle
Even from the cultural side Supit Urang yet contribute any single thing
The only record shown that this kingdom had ever been exist was the statement from Demak that mentioned Supit Urang attacking for several times, but finally Demak has over take this kingdom
that time, around 12,000 citizen had lived in this area (but 12,000 citizen doesn't mean 12,000 army)
Age when Supit Urang was born could be said as the tail of Majapahit
the Great war of Majapahit against Demak in 1518 had an ending by defeated of Majapahit still leave some nightmare in its ex territories. The falling economic and crime were exposed everywhere

Just if that time supit Urang used its power to control and solved the chaos and willing to wait for a good chance in attacking Demak, probably it would give them a little advantages in the next step. In a battle, something little could be the key of victory
But, since the beginning Rangga Permana had dedicated his kingdom to take the honor of Majapahit back. So in every single step he make just to empower his man in arm
Around 3 or 4 times attack launched to Demak Bintoro in range1530-1540, but none succed. Even in the last battle Rangga Permana were killed on field
Nothing much can be known from this kingdom. more, no many people know that this last kingdom in Malang had ever been exist
Even many consideration that this kingdom had a less contribution in historical or culture (yet perhaps?), but Supit Urang could be nominated as the strongest will kingdom to fight for its goal. Before European come, none kingdom were strike the same enemy as much as that
By that event above we can take conclusions that Supit Urang had a large number of armies and he also able to fund them and that great number of attacks
By the death of Rangga Permana, Supit Urang had ended there. Its name was nearly forgotten and the location had no place in peoples heads after

Tragic.....
