这篇文章展望了19世纪殖民印度的一位基督教皈依者的间隙性和混合的第三种声音。Bala Shundoree Tagore是一名孟加拉妇女，也是受人尊敬的贾南德拉·莫汉·泰戈尔的妻子。尽管她在受洗前去世，但传教士们还是宣布她是一名精神上的基督徒。巴拉的传记作者和翻译家对她的叙述使她的声音变得模糊和改变，把她作为一个成功的故事写进了印度传教史。从19世纪开始，巴拉被重新塑造成印度基督教女性的性别象征，她的叙述被传教士利用，剥夺了她所拥有的代理权。
ABSTRACT This article foregrounds the interstitial and hybrid third voice of a nineteenth-century Christian convert in colonial India. Bala Shundoree Tagore, a Bengali woman and wife to the esteemed Gyanendra Mohan Tagore, was declared spiritually Christian by missionaries, even though she died before being baptised. Bala's narrative production by her biographers and translators obfuscated and transformed her voice, writing her into the history of Indian missions as a success story. Refashioned as a gendered symbol for Indian Christian women from the nineteenth century, Bala's narrative was utilised by missionaries by divesting her of the agency she possessed.
