the Attorney General of Indonesia banned This Earth of Mankind in 1981.
He said it promoted Marxist-Leninist ideas and Communism.
Neither are in the book.
First, the Ampat Lima printing house were told to not print any books published by Hasta Mitra.
The editors of major media were told that they were not allowed to review or praise This Earth of Mankind or any of Pramoedya's other writing.
In April 1981, some New Order youth groups criticized Pramoedya's writing.
Mass media reported this as the people not liking Pramoedya's work.
New Order media such as Suara Karya, Pelita and Karya Dharma began publishing criticisms of This Earth of Mankind and its author.
The Association of Indonesian Publishers (IKAPI) had been planning an exhibition of books that year.
They canceled Hasta Mitra's membership in the association.
IKAPI had been enthusiastic about asking the publisher to become a member and be involved in its activities.
Newspapers that used to support Pramoedya stopped publishing his writing.
They also started rejecting writing by authors who supported Pramoedya.
Finally, on 29 May 1981, the Attorney General published regulation SK-052/JA/5/1981 about the banning of This Earth of Mankind and its sequel Child of All Nations (Anak Semua Bangsa).
The regulation mentioned a letter from Suharto.
The Attorney General's office took all copies of This Earth of Mankind and Child of All Nations tried to take all copies of the books from all book shops.
However, by August 1981, they only took 972 copies of the books although about 20,000 copies had been printed.
The translator of This Earth of Mankind into English, Maxwell Lane, was a staff member of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta.
The Australian Government recalled him in September 1981.
The Ampat Lima printing company closed because of pressure from the Attorney General's office and the Interior Ministry.

Each individual's gain or loss of utility is exactly balanced by the losses or gains of the utility of the other participants.
If the total gains of the participants are added up and the total losses are subtracted, they will add up to zero.

Not so obvious, but essential, is how players (participants) value the cake.

Hapi was the god of the annual flooding of the Nile in ancient Egyptian religion.
The flood depositedfertile soil on the river's banks, allowing the Egyptians to grow crops.
Some of the titles of Hapi were "Lord of the Fish and Birds of the Marshes" and "Lord of the River Bringing Vegetation".
Hapi is typically depicted as an androgynous figure with a big belly and large drooping breasts, wearing a loincloth and ceremonial false beard.
The annual flooding of the Nile occasionally was said to be the Arrival of Hapi.
Since this flooding provided fertile soil in an area that was otherwise desert, Hapi symbolised fertility.
He had large female breasts because he was said to bring a rich and nourishing harvest.
Due to his fertile nature he was sometimes considered the "father of the gods", and was considered to be a caring father who helped to maintain the balance of the cosmos, the world or universe regarded as an orderly, harmonious system.
He was thought to live within a cavern at the supposed source of the Nile near Aswan.
His priests were involved in rituals to ensure the steady levels of flow required from the annual flood.
At Elephantine the official nilometer, a measuring device, was carefully monitored to predict the level of the flood, and his priests must have been intimately concerned with its monitoring.
Hapi was not regarded as the god of the Nile itself but of the flooding event.
He was also considered a "friend of Geb" the Egyptian god of the earth, and the "lord of Neper", the god of grain.
Although male and wearing the false beard, Hapi was pictured with pendulous breasts and a large stomach, as representations of the fertility of the Nile.
He also was usually given blue or green skin, representing water.
Other attributes varied, depending upon the region of Egypt in which the depictions exist.
In Lower Egypt, he was adorned with papyrus plants and attended by frogs, present in the region, and symbols of it.
Whereas in Upper Egypt, it was the lotus and crocodiles which were more present in the Nile, thus these were the symbols of the region, and those associated with Hapi there.
Hapi often was pictured carrying offerings of food or pouring water from an amphora, but also, very rarely, was depicted as a hippopotamus.
During the Nineteenth Dynasty Hapi is often depicted as a pair of figures, each holding and tying together the long stem of two plants representing Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolically binding the two halves of the country around a hieroglyph meaning "union".
This symbolic representation was often carved at the base of seated statues of the pharaoh.
Egyptian historian Al Maqrizi (1364–1442) related in his "El Khutat El Maqrizia (The Maqrizian Plans) that living virgins were sacrificed annually as "brides of the Nile" ("Arous El Nil") and this has been historically accepted as late as the 1970s.
but this claim is disputed by some Egyptologists such as Bassam El Shammaa.

Before the Aswan Dam was built (1898-1902).
there was a Nile flood, once a year.
This flood carried rich sediments, which made the soil fertile.
Egypt is located in the desert, and agriculture is only possible close to the Nile.
A rainy season in Ethiopia starts the flooding, which used to occur between May and August.
During this time, the Blue Nile has five times as much water as the White Nile.
During the rest of the year, the White Nile has almost twice as much water than the Blue Nile.
This event was visible in Aswan, starting in June, and reaching its peak in August.
The water reaches the eastuary of the Nile about two weeks later.
The flooding always occurs at the same time; in some years it may be a few days erlier, in others it will be a few days later.
What cannot be prediced is the total amount of water.
Little water meant droughts and famine.
Too much water would cause damage to dams and houses.
