Ghuru tolang, on the other hand, does not stand out from other teachers in their eyes.so there is no sacredness that must be overly addressed. Nevertheless, the millennial generation still positions ghuru tolang as a religious and social leader so that he is considered a cultural symbol that fully adheres to traditional religious values and has important meaning for the Madurese people.
