摘要

艾利森·布希不仅作为诗歌,而且作为历史,为恢复本土文学的声誉做出了巨大贡献,为了向她致敬,塔尔博特讲述了一位来自比卡纳的无名拉杰普特战士的故事,他决定去死更好。在问为什么拉姆辛格·卡扬马洛在1577年寻求死亡时,我们必须解决一个更大的问题,即莫卧儿帝国不断扩张的权力给拉治普人世界带来的变化,这也是布希在她的研究中探讨的主要问题之一。正如布希反复指出的那样,在拉杰普特宫廷撰写的白话文本不仅为莫卧儿时代的权力动态提供了一个有价值的替代视角,而且还可以揭示当地有权势的人的生活,这些人在帝国赞助的波斯历史中几乎没有出现过。在马尔瓦里(Marwari)撰写的散文式传记《达尔帕特·维拉斯》(Dalpat Vilas)中,我们看到了拉姆辛格(Ramsingh)的困境,他是第二个儿子,被夹在哥哥比卡内尔·拉贾(Bikaner Raja)和莫卧儿王朝(Mughal)的顺从仆人之间,而他的弟弟则是偶尔四处游荡的强盗。他们的故事说明,相互竞争的忠诚和优先事项可能会使兄弟情谊变得紧张,尤其是在政治动荡时期。

Caught in a Conflict of Loyalties
In tribute to Allison Busch, who did so much to restore the reputation of vernacular literature not just as poetry but also as history, Talbot offers an account of an obscure Rajput warrior from Bikaner who decided it would be better to die. In asking why Ramsingh Kalyanmalot sought death in 1577, we must address the larger issue of the changes wrought on the Rajput world by the expanding power of the Mughal empire, one of the main questions that Busch probed in her research. Vernacular texts composed at Rajput courts not only provide a valuable alternate perspective on the power dynamics of the Mughal era, as Busch repeatedly pointed out, but can also cast light on the lives of locally powerful men who hardly figure in imperially sponsored Persian histories. In Dalpat Vilas, a prose biography composed in Marwari, we witness the dilemma of Ramsingh, a second son who was caught between his older brother, the Bikaner Raja and obedient Mughal servant, and his younger brothers, occasional bandits who wandered freely. Their story illustrates how competing loyalties and priorities could strain brotherly bonds, especially in times of political turmoil.
