Abstract
This study aims to analyze the character of Bukka Raya I in Salman Rushdie’s Victory City, focusing on his characteristic, leadership, impacts, and the reflections arising within the fictional Bisnaga Kingdom. There are four problems to be solved in this study, namely: (1) How is Bukka Raya I characterized? (2) How does Bukka Raya I lead the kingdom? (3) What is the impact of Bukka Raya I’s leadership? (4) What can be reflected in Bukka Raya I’s leadership in Bisnaga? This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive textual analysis method. Bukka Raya I is examined through selected passages that highlight his leadership and its consequences. The analysis applies the lens of New Criticism to explore intrinsic literary elements such as characterization, conflict, and irony. It also incorporates the Marxism and Literature approach to understand how political power, ideology, and class dynamics shape the portrayal of his reign. The analysis reveals Bukka Raya I as a cautious and strategic leader who prioritized security through palace guard reform. His openness to Vidyasagar’s philosophy reflects his receptiveness to ideological ideas in shaping the kingdom’s values. This became the basis for Bisnaga’s ideological defense against external threats and internal divisions. As a visionary, he expanded the territory and projected a strong cultural identity. However, his personal artistic preferences often clashed with public sentiment. His reign included structural reforms, military expansion, cultural expression, and ideological consolidation. Yet these achievements also brought consequences such as polarization, internal threats, and succession failure. Reflections on his leadership highlight his strength in managing diversity and asserting ambition, while also exposing how eccentric taste and lack of foresight created instability. Ultimately, Bukka Raya I’s leadership embodies both achievement and irony as it fortifying Bisnaga’s identity and power while leaving unresolved tensions that threatened its long-term unity.
