History
Before the completion of the new constitution of Indokistan, National Forum members initiated a motion on adoption of a new national anthem. Parliamentarians believe that the previous national anthem, Serdadu Indokistan was problematic - its long duration of music made it difficult to sing, which further failed to provoke and inspire citizens.
On early November 2013, the Forum opens a public competition on the new national anthem, which draws many participants. From all participants, two proposals sent by Farhan Abbas and Mustafa Hakim was the most popular, their proposals was later sent to the Forum for deliberations. With Farhan's proposal of "Berjayalah Indokistan", Mustafa's proposal was to set the national anthem on the solemn Maltese national anthem L-Innu Malti under the title of "Indokistani Hymn". After voting on 30 December, it was revealed that Farhan's proposal won forum majority and shortly made official as the new national anthem. In January 2014, the ratified constitution includes the national anthem, granted it constitutional status.
The new design of the national currency KistanRupiah published in December 2014 features the first stanza and the chorus of the national anthem on its 1 KistanRupiah banknotes.
