Aurangzeb in Mewar through the stories of Sultan Singh
Examining narratives about Sultan Singh, Udaipur's most prominent sagasji (divine, heroic guardian), this essay analyzes the narrative frame of contention between Sultan Singh's father, the Maharana (“Great King”) Raj Singh and the emperor Aurangzeb. It argues that the frame inevitably glorifies the Maharana and contrasts him with emperor, invariably represented as a worthy opponent, as it contextuales variant lore about the life and tragic death…

The Land of Heroes Rajasthani Soli and Rajput Blood
As anyone who has glanced at the tourist literature on India doubtless knows, Rajasthan is famous for its martial heritage and traditions of heroic sacrifice. In the images offered for public consumption on the state’s web page, in the tourist pamphlets produced in India and abroad, in the copious collections of armor and antique weaponry displayed in public museums and private homes, and on the inscriptions and plaques on heroic monuments, Rajas…

Heroic Story Frames Liberation, Perfection, and Seclusion
Among Rajputs, dying as a warrior has long meant being the best one can be. The result of this accomplishment is realizing the ultimate.

Heroic Story Slaughter and Glory
With these lines from Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta “The Pirates of Penzance,” delicate but spirited daughters of a “modem major general” cheer on faint-hearted policemen who ultimately lament, “when constabulary duty’s to be done ... a policeman’s lot is not a happy one.” Seeking to embolden reluctant “heroes” preparing to fight pirates, these maidens, who have previously described themselves as “hardy little lasses,” predict “death and slaugh…

Heroic Song End of the Story and Beyond
In this song, a woman invites an ancestral hero to attend the ratijaga she has organized. All that remains of this hero’s story is an epithet that distinguishes him from unheroic men and ancestors but not from other heroes who bear the same epithet.
The Goddesses’ Henchmen
This book examines the worship of ancestral heroes in Rajasthan, India. Arguing that Rajput hero stories and songs encapsulate and express ideals of perfection and masculinity, it analyzes representations of wives and goddesses as tacit allies dispatching sacrificed heroes to heavenly paradise (Virgati) and rendering them Bherujis, their goddesses’ divine henchmen

Religion and Rajput Women
What is the relationship between caste and gender in the narratives of Rajput woman? During a year and a half of fieldwork in Rajasthan, a parched land dominated by the great Indian Desert, Lindsey Harlan interviewed more than a hundred women from all levels of Rajput society. She wanted to understand why certain religious practices were so important to Rajput women, and how they justified these to themselves. During the course of her interviews,…
