BABAD RUSAK BANJAR: For The Sake Of Banjar, They Chose To Fight
Babad Rusak Banjar is a historical manuscript, numbered Va.918/3, preserved at Gedong Kirtya, Singaraja, from the collection of I Ketut Gelgel. Set amid the grip of Dutch colonial rule in Buleleng, this Balinese language manuscript, written in the form of a Gaguritan, traces the growing tensions in the Kingdom of Banjar as its king, I Gusti Made Rai, makes a bold decision to reject the oppressive tribute system. As pressure from the Dutch envoys sparks anger and resistance among the people, can Banjar's defenses and the courage of its trusted patih withstand the assault of a war fleet approaching from afar? A story of struggle and the fate of a kingdom on the land of Bali.
