摘　　要：殖民地时期的印度法律是英国法律与印度传统宗教法及地方习惯相冲突和妥协的产物。泰戈尔的短篇小说《原来如此》生动地描绘了这一法律移植过程中,印度教种姓社会内部出现的危机,农民和低等种姓在新土地法的规定下面临的生存压力。通过小说中对两代婆罗门地主形象的描写,泰戈尔运用"不可靠叙述"和颇具象征意义的场景描写,表示了对印度法律改革的忧虑与思索。During the British colonial period, Indian laws were in the process of amalgamation, conflict and compromise between British law and traditional Hindu law as well as local conventions. The short story So That＇s How It Is by Tagore portrayed vividly the complex crisis in the course of transplantation of British law into the Hindu society. Under the new land law, many peasants and lower caste members were faced with heavy pressure in life. Through portraying two generations of Brahmanic landholders in a family with literary techniques such as unreliable narration and symbolic scene depiction, Tagore expressed his worry and thinking about the innovation of Indian laws.
