Question

Both Bama and Zitkala-Sa face difficult situations in their lives.
Describe how they face these situations. 

Answer 1

Bama's experiece is based on the evil ridden caste-system in India. Where the poor are exploited and the  low caste people are forced to face the racial discriminations by the hands of the upper class people. The  girl is deeply shocked, troubled, tensed and provoked on seeing untouchability by the people of high caste.  The people of low caste bow and work for their masters. They have to carry a food packet by the thread  without touching it. Her brother Annan inspires and advises her to work hard to attain quality. She acts upon  his advice and people start coming to her of their own accord.

The old woman Zitkala. So faces humilisation and discrimination through the writes since they force her to  follow their own culture, tradition and rituals, etc. She is overpowed to single out her hair. She severely  resists and wants to maintain the dignify of her community but she is made a little animal driven by a harder.  This is a very shameless act of racial discrimination, untouchability and oppression of marginalised communities. They fight and raise their voice against this social evil and get triumph.
