The first account is that of Zitkala - Sa. She is a native American. She belongs to a tribe of people who were the original inhabitants of America. The white skin European settlers had a bitter prejudice against the native Americans. They treated them like herds of animals.
The second account is that of Bama who was a Tamil Indian. She belong to the Dalit community. She was pained to see how the upper caste people treated the Dalits in a humiliating manner. They thought that even the touch of the Dalit would pollute them.Thus we see that though Zitkala - Sa and Bama belong to different communities and cultures ,there was much commonality in their sufferings. Both the communities suffered from the racial prejudice of those who consider themselves to be superior to them.

Answer:
Explanation:
‘Memories of childhood’ present to autobiographical episodes. Both are from the lives of women. The thread of commonality that runs through both accounts is the feeling of sadness and outrage experienced by both two women of marginalised community. The first account is by an American Indian woman. Second account is narrated by a contemporary Tamil Dalit writer. The women belong to two different cultures. Distress and sadness is experience by both the women’s in their early life.
Native Indians don't get respect dignity and importance in America. They are forced to follow their trades tradition and whims. The poor Indian girl was dragged out and tied in a chair and her long and heavy hair is shingled. Bama, on the other hand awakened early to the humanization of having been born in community of untouchables and hence directed all her energy into fighting the injustice of such a system.
Both the women fight and struggle against exploitation and oppression.
