Bali in Period of Dutch
Many of the Articles of Bali mentioning that the Balinese became the darlings of the Dutch authorities. Indeed, the Dutch administration took a patronizing attitude toward the Bali people and their culture, allowing the Balinese to continue using their own language and practice their own ‘Traditional custom’. Although the remaining pro-Dutch princes were deprived of political powers, they maintained much of their influence and importance as patrons of the Balinese arts.
