Hello,
to prove that the game is traditional, you'll need to find an evidence dating to before 1971, am I wrong? That would mean an article written by an ethnologist from the XIXth century or the beginning of XXth century, or if possible, even before. You can also look for archaeological evidence like boards dating from prehistorical era...
Nobody contests the fact that Surakarta is still played nowadays in Indonesia, but there is a lack of proof that it was played before the 1970s in Indonesia.
Eric Armayuda writes about "more than 2,500 traditional games", where does this number 2,500 come from? Is it a scientifical result?
