Malushahi: the Ballad of Kumaon

Mohan Upreti

4.9/5 (11139 ratings)

Description:English translation of a central piece of Kumaoni oral tradition. Its central plot concerns the love of Malushahi, a prince of the Katyuria dynasty, and Rajula, the beautiful daughter of a shauka couple. A striking feature of the narrative is the central and very active role which Rajula plays. She is an exceptionally intelligent and courageous heroine, a woman of considerable independence and initiative. Rajula is in fact much more competent than her lover. She stands in marked contrast to the human heroines of most epics from the plains, both sacred and secular, whose virtues are defined more by what they do not do than by their accomplishments.Upreti does not provide a full text of the epic but rather records detailed outlinesof three performers' versions. Upreti’s outlines appear to represent a number of performances by each of the men, so it is difficult to assess individual consistency, but the differences among the three performers’ versions are interesting and well explored. Upreti’s comparisons extend beyond the texts themselves to include musical features as well.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
