Sukarno gave the first iteration of the Pancasila in his speech of 1 June 1945 to the Investigating Committee for Preparatory Work for Independence (BPUPK), and omitted the word 'Indonesia'. Pancasila was intended to resolve contrasting IndonesianMuslim, nationalist, and Christian priorities. social justice, was derived from the Javanese concept of 'Ratu Adil', i.e., the Just Leader, being a messianic Javanese ruler who would liberate that people from all kinds of oppression.

Sukarno further explained that 'Keadilan sosial', i.e. 'Ketuhanan' to him was originally indigenous, while 'Kemanusiaan' was derived from the Hindu concept of Tat Tvam Asi, the Islamic concept of 'fardhukifayah', and the Christian concept of neighborly love. Sukarno consistently stated that Pancasila was a philosophy of Indonesian indigenous origin that he developed under the inspiration of Indonesian historical philosophical traditions, including indigenous Indonesian, Indian Hindu, Western Christian, and Arab Islamic traditions. His political philosophy was fundamentally an amalgamation of elements of monotheism, nationalism, and socialism. Desirous of uniting the diverse archipelago of Indonesia into one state in 1945, the future President Sukarno promulgated Pancasila as the foundational philosophical theory of the new Indonesian state (in Indonesian 'Dasar Negara').
