Arief Budiman
Arief Budiman, as far as I know, ever since his student years in the 1970s dealt with social protests in any field that could be categorized as social affairs.
Even when he was no longer a student, he was always involved with the student movement in matters of corruption, in protests against the killing of students in Bandung (1971), against the construction of Taman Mini Indonesia (1973) and agains the demolition of a village for the construction of the Kedung Ombo dam (1985). After returning from his studies at Harvard, he was involved again in a protest at the university where he worked and taught until he had to choose to leave the university and move to universities outside the country.
