Frederik Hermanus "Dick" de Hoog (16 June 1881 – 3 January 1939) was the Indo (Eurasian) president of the Indo-European Alliance, a member of the People's Council, and a professional politician in the Dutch East Indies.

[2] After an expeditious and successful professional career Dick de Hoog went into politics and became the undisputed leader of the Indo Europeesch Verbond (English: Indo-European Alliance), the most important Indo-emancipation movement of the time.

His organisation became the biggest political fraction represented in the People's Assembly fighting for race equality and a self-sufficient and independent nation, albeit as a dominion in a larger Dutch commonwealth.

By 1905 he was station chief in Jombang, where his career halted because the highest job positions in the Dutch East Indies were restricted to people educated in the Netherlands and were usually occupied by expatriate Dutchmen.

[3] Meanwhile, De Hoog had also commenced his political career and soon became the main leader of the IEV (Indo-European Alliance), the most important Indo-emancipation movement of the time.

De Hoog considered solidarity essential to further emancipation and his priority was to ensure unity within all social layers of the Indo community of the plural and polarized Dutch East Indies.

The colonial authorities however continued to procrastinate democratic progress and the Dutch East Indies remained considerably more centralised and conservative than the Netherlands.

His death in 1939 was front-page news in both the Dutch East Indies and the Netherlands and his burial in Bandung was an impressive event paying homage to his work for the Indo community.

After the great change of paradigm during WWII the IEV was unable to surmount the vicissitudes of the clash between Dutch colonialism and the Indonesian independence movement.
