By Edi Nasution

I

The word "marga" in Mandailing or Mandahiling could mean clan derived from Sanskrit, Varga is resident or color, plus affixes ma or mar, be "mavarga" or "marvarga", meaning "berwarga"  (have residents) and shortened to "marga". The clan itself meaningful groups or families of people who come from a common ancestor or a huta (village). 

Highways can also be derived from the abbreviation "family name". However, not everyone Mandailing clan included in its name, as it is considered sufficient as an identity between the Mandailing/Mandahiling own. In addition, among the Mandailing some are not wearing a patrilineal system or clan system, but wear or matrilineal system termed the tribal system in the Minang language, such as for example the Lubu ethnic which is native Mandahiling. In addition, the clan can also be interpreted as a hamlet, as well as the meaning of the genus in South Sumatra.

II

Ethnic Mandahiling is "tribes" that inhabit the three provinces in Sumatra Island, namely the Mandailing Natal, Padang Lawas, North Padang Lawas, South Tapanuli, Labuhanbatu, North Labuhanbatu, South Labuhanbatu, Asahan and Batubara districts in the province of North Sumatra, Indonesia and in Pasaman and West Pasaman, in the province of West Sumatra, and Rokan Hulu in Riau Province. In the Dutch colonial period, all of which fall into Afdeeling Mandahiling under Sumatra 's West Kust Gouvernement (governorate of the West Coast of Sumatra). In Minangkabau society, Mandailing or Mandahiliang be one called "tribal" or the surname of the mother (matrilineal) that exist in Minangkabau society.

As well as the Arabic and Chinese, Mandahiling or Mandailing people have knowledge of genealogy, which in Mandailing referred to as Tarombo or Tambo. Lineage Mandailing people can reach several offspring at once a history of their ancestors. At first pedigree anything clan, hereditary narrated orally (legend or Tree), then lowered in writing. According Abdoellah Loebis who wrote about the origin of the Mandailing in Mandailing magazine published in the field in the early period of the 20th: "... The legend still holds down - derivatives , namely clan Lubis and Nasution , as has been authored by the late King Mulya former Kuriahoofd (area) Aek (River) Nangali ... ". It does not mean clans Mandailing others do not maintain their pedigree.

Lubis clan genealogy research Singengu (Silangkitang descent) in Kotanopan and Lubis Singasoro (Sibaitang descent) in Pakantan, along Harahap (Sutan Bugis descent) and Hutasuhut (Sutan Borayun descent) in Angkola, which is a descendant of Namora Pande Bosi, suggests that the clan first settled in Mandailing Julu and Mandailing Jae (Angkola) during the period of 16th century AD, the descendants of Raden Patah Bugis Wind degree of Majapahit, who along Bugis forces from Palembang, who lost to the Kingdom of buffalo race in Padang Sibusuk Pagaruyung. Lubis-Lubis while others, such as Parinduri, Batubara, Daulae, Raorao, Tanjung, and others, who are not descendants of Namora Pande Bosi, generally until now has not been widely publicized.

While in general Sibaroar Nasution clan residing in Mandailing Godang. The Baroar title is a descendant of Sutan (Sultan) Di Aru, and other clans Nasution, among others Nasution Panyabungan, Tanbangan, Borotan, Lancat, Jior, Tonga, Dolok, Maga, Pidoli, and others, based on their respective village name, which was originally put on the matrilineal system.

Generally clans in Mandailing, the story does not indicate its origin comes from Toba, such opinions are sown. Among other things, the Batubara, Daulae and Matondang clans derived from a common ancestor. Leaders of the clan ancestors according to the third story of two brothers, namely Datu Bitcu Rayo and Parmato Sopiak. Around the year 1560 AD, both the entourage departed from Batubara, Tanjung Balai towards Barumun region. There, they established a village called Binabo, and that's where ParmatoSopiak eventually died (In 1981, several prominent Daulae, Matondang and Batubara clans of Mandailing Parmato Sopiak been restored tomb located near the village Binabo Barumun region). Later on, two sons named Parmato Sopiak Si Laedan and Si Tondang with their followers moved to Mandailing Godang, and established a village called Pintu Padang. That's where they are grown and surnamed descendants Daulae and Matondang clans. Datu Bitcu Rayo then move, and established village Pagaran Tonga. In that place, the offspring develop into Batubara clan.

People surnamed Mandailing Rangkuti and fractions Parinduri clan, also supports the idea, saying they came from Toba. " ... until now nobody Rangkuti clan who considers himself Batak, not marmora (have relatives -in-law relationship) and not maranak Boru ( bermenantu kin ties ) to Batak Land." Because, according to the narrative compiled from old people in Mandailing and also adapted to the Rangkuti clan, that Ompu Parsadaan Rangkuti (ancestors of the people surnamed Rangkuti) Runding, named Mangaraja Sutan Pane, which is at approximately the XI century came from the Huta Ulu Panai open Runding and establish a kingdom there. The Kingdom of dealing with Harajaon (royal) Pulungan in Hutabargot at the foot of the Tor (mountain) Dolok Sigantang across the Batang Gadis river approximately 16 miles from Panyabungan. "... Another version is also said that the ancestors of the surname Mandailing Rangkuti originally came from Aceh south ( from Rondeng Tread Master ) along the sea shore up to Christmas. " from there they then fell into Mandailing Godang and establish their colony called Runding, according to the name of their place of origin. Versions, Rangkuti clan descended from Ra Kuti, who is a figure in the uprising Wedheng the Majapahit period, which ran into Mandailing in the past, namely the Sultanate Aru which had its capital in Padang Lawas.

Ethnic Mandahiling that sering pula didialekkan Mandailing, is "tribes" (the Mandailing call Bangso Mandailing) inhabiting three provinces in Sumatra Island, namely North Sumatra, West Sumatra and Riau Province in Indonesia. Mandailing people in the province of North Sumatra located in the District of Mandailing Natal, Padang Lawas, North Padang Lawas, South Tapanuli, Labuhanbatu District, North Labuhanbatu District, South Labuhanbatu District, Tanjung  and Batubara district County in the province of West Sumatra, while being on Pasaman and West Pasaman , and in [Riau Province} } are in Rokan Hulu. At the beginning of the Dutch colonial period, all areas originally included in the residency Mandailingoor residentee Mandahiling under Sumatra 's West Kust Gouvernement or governorate of the West Coast of Sumatra, Padang together residency Sea  (Padang Lauik) and residency Army Padang (Padang Darek).

But when the Sultanate Barus successfully mastered Dutch (After London Tracktaat Londonsche agreement between the Kingdom of England and Kingdom of the Netherlands, who exchanged bolsters northern Sumatra region which initially claimed the UK and northern Borneo region that initially has mastered the Netherlands), including Afdeeling Land of Batak (Toba and State Silindung country), that if it was under the Sultanate of Aceh, Mandailingdihapuskan residency. Most areas in the region Mandailing combined residency -based Tapian Nauli (Tapanuli) at Barus, but still in West Sumatra 's Kust Gouvernement. Meanwhile Lubuksikaping region (Pasaman and West Pasaman) into the residency of Padang Sumatra 's Army dalamWest Kust Gouvernement, and Tambusai region (Rokan Hulu) Gouvernement Riaw in the territory. On the other hand some areas Mandailing entered in Oost Kust Gouvernement or governorate Sumatra 's East Coast of Sumatra, the region Labuhanbatu, Tanjung and Batubara. The area included in the residency Mandailing Tapanuli is Mandailing Natal, Mandailing Angkola, Mandailing-Padangsidempuan, and Padanglawas.

Since it started residency Tapanuli, Mandailing in the capital city moved Padangsidempuan are alternated between the City and the City Padangsidempuan Tapanuli. When I was a residency Mandailing, the first time in his capital Water Bangis thus known as the residency of Air Bangis, then moved to Kotanopan, then to City Panyabungan and the last is Padangsidempuan City. Mandailing residency region is called as the Sultanate Mandailing the last sultan was King Gadumbang (Lubis, Nasution, etc.). After that , government Mandailing divided in several Curia established by the Dutch in order to divide et impera, up to 50 Curia . Curia itself comes from the Arabic, namely "Qurya" meaning "country", which is often the term used in the administration of Darul Islam Minangkabau during the Padri war to replace the term "huta" (village)  or "country".

Mandailing Kingdom area known as the North Pagaruyung Sultanate, which formerly divided because down the throne of King Pagaruyung Daulat The lordship of Raja Naro in the early 19th century, which was replaced Daulat The lordship Muningsyah II by Nan Baso Ampek Hall (4 king is the king 's throne supervisor Pagaruyung - king is falling down by custom), which continues with the Padri War. But this split is aligned Anwar Nasution, who represents the North Pagaruyung Sultanate based in Aek Na Ngali (Aia Madingin) at Trunk Christmas, several years-ago, invited the family of the Sultanate Pagaruyung (South ) at Batusanggkar to re- unite , after 200 years partnership was split by civil war. In Minangkabau society, Mandailing name or Mandahiliang be one called "tribal" or "family name of the mother" (matrilineal system) which is in Minangkabau society.

VII

Origin of name

Mandailing or Mandahiling thought to have originated from two Sanskrit words (Malay/ Javanese), namely Mandala and holing. Mandala means center of federation of several kingdoms, while holing/Hiling/Kalinga is derived from the name of the kingdom of Kalinga. Kalinga kingdom is estimated to stand before being replaced kingdom of Srivijaya in the 7th century with the last king of Sri Paduka MaharajaIndrawarman son of Ratu Shima. Sri Maharaja Indrawarman also a sibling of Raja Sanjaya who form the Hindu Mataram in Java, after marrying the Ratu Galuh, who later referred to as the Kingdom Medang (which alternates between her kings and Sanjaya descent Syailendra tied the marital relationship between the descendants of both, to end the war between the two dynastic descent Wijaya, namely Wangsa Sanjaya and Sailendra dynasty).

In Minangkabau language, Mandailing can also be interpreted as intending mande gone "missing mom" . Therefore there is also a presumption based on pedigree, which says that the coming of the Kingdom Mandailing community Pagaruyung in Minangkabau.

VIII

Mandailing Not Batak

In order to divide et impera, many foreign historians who influenced thinking Indies Governor General TimurThomas Stamford Raffles in the context of Christianity, making Mandailing be sub- ethnic of Batak. Administratively, inclusion in the sub- ethnic Batak Mandailing began in the reign of the Dutch in the early 20th century and, even if the people are represented Mandailing kings Curia refuses to sub etniskan in the ethnic Batak. The result appears tale event known as the Waqf Land Mandailing in Soengai Mati Medan, Medan in 1925, to proceed to trial.

Finally, based on the decision of the Court of the Netherlands Indies government in Batavia , Mandahiling recognized as a separate ethnic of Batak, because by de facto, ethnic Batak was actually younger than ethnic Mandailing. Based on pedigree recognized ethnic Batak alone in Tree Si Raja Batak, Si Raja Batak is the ancestor of the Batak, his mother called Boru Deak Parujar in ethnic Mandailing. So before the Batak ethnic, ethnic Mandailing there. Mandailing own ethnicity, according to Minangkabau ethnic lineage.
