Question

In this country, shamans who have earlier asked the permission of a deity to be both male and female try to stab themselves but are not harmed in the ma’giri’ ritual. That culture from this country recognizes the calalai (“chah-LAH-lye”) and calabai (“chah-LAH-bye”) genders and recorded the role of the bissu in the epic La Galigo. Sex work and beauty salon work are common occupations (15[1])for this country’s waria third gender. (-5[1])This country’s Muhammadiyah and (*) Nahdlatul (10[1])Ulama Islamic (10[1])organizations encouraged women to wear the jilbab or hijab, despite it earlier being banned under the New Order government. While this country was led by Megawati, various qanun instituted (10[1])sharia law in its province of Aceh (“AH-chay”). For 10 points, name this country where Tribhuwana (“tree-boo-WAH-nah”) led the Majapahit kingdom on Java. ■END■ (10[1])
