Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
In response to the limitations imposed by the Dutch colonial authority, the Saminist movement was born in the last decade of the 19th century. Surontiko Samin led this movement in Java. The locals backed him because the forest police installed checkpoints and limited locals' activities. For example, the farmers had to pay taxes on the land, livestock, marriage, irrigation, and water. In addition, the locals had to buy tickets from the forest authority to harvest firewood. Furthermore, the Dutch colonial officer initiated social programs and projects without the peasants' permission. As a result, the proprietors of the teak woods and other peasants suffered greatly.
The correct statement would be The Saminist movement started in the 19th century as a reaction against the restrictions of the French colonial state.
