Tjokorda Gde Raka Soekawati (new spelling: Cokorda Gde Raka Sukawati), (15 January 1899 in Ubud, Gianyar, Bali – 1967) was the only President of the State of East Indonesia from 1946 to its disestablishment in 1950.[1] He served from 1946 until the dissolution of the East Indonesian State in 1950. His title, Tjokorda Gde, signaled that Soekawati belonged to the highest ksatria (one of the four noble castes in Bali). He had two wives, the first a Balinese, Gusti Agung Niang Putu, who gave him a son named Tjokorda Ngurah Wim Sukawati. In 1933, he married a French woman named Gilbert Vincent,[2] who gave him two children.[3]
