What was the role of the Dutch in the Padri War?

How did the Padri view the conflict compared to the Adat group?

The Padri viewed the conflict as a struggle for religious and social reform, rejecting traditional practices that they considered un-Islamic. In contrast, the Adat group, which included local leaders and clan chiefs, resisted these reforms, maintaining traditional practices while embracing Islam.
