摘　　要：在雅利安人入侵之前,印度大部分地区处于母系社会,妇女地位崇高。即便到吠陀时代,印度寡妇也并没有受到特别严厉的迫害;史诗时代到中世纪早期,是印度妇女地位急剧下降的时期,萨提逐渐成为印度传统的一部分,但同时印度的妇女自我解放运动也声势浩大;在现代,印度本土开明知识分子主张废除寡妇萨提传统,保护寡妇权益,寡妇的地位有所改善。这些都颠覆了当下西方主流知识分子所谓"西方殖民印度是印度底层与妇女解放开端"的结论。Before the invasion of Aryans, most area of India was in matrilineal society, the women＇ s sta- tus was high. Even in Veda＇ s time, Indian widows were not severely persecuted. From Epic age to early me- dieval is a period when women＇ s status dramatically declined, and ＂Sati＂ gradually became a part of Indian tradition. But at the same time the women emancipation movement also thrives. In modern time, Indian local liberal intellectuals advocated abolishing the widows＇ ＂Sati＂ tradition to protect the women＇ s right, and the status of widows was improved. All of these facts undermine the current Western mainstream scholar＇ s conclu- sion that ＂colonization by Westerners is the beginning of Indian esne and Indian women＇ s emancipation＂.
