印度女性地位的变化——兼论印度英语小说中的妇女问题

Change of Women's Status in India and the Problem of Women in English Fiction by Indians

吠陀时期印度妇女的地位较高,而后不断降低。印度独立后,印度妇女开始从沉默到为权利而战,她们的自信心和自我意识也在不断增强,反对男权、反对霸权。印度英语小说很好地反映了印度妇女地位的这一变化,尤其是女性作家的作品从多方面反映了女性所面临的问题,她们内心的挣扎和迷茫,痛苦和反抗。

Indian women enjoyed a higher status in the Vedic age. After India＇s independence, Indian women began to fight for their own rights rather than endure in silence. Their self-confidence and self-consciousness began to grow, opposing patriarchy and hegemony. Indian English fiction reflects well this change of the status of Indian women. The women writers express the problems the women are facing, their inner struggle, confusion and sorrow.
