8. Memories of Childhood Summary of the Story : This
lesson presents autobiographical episodes from the lives of two women. The
first account is of a native Indian girl in America. She faces American culture
being imposed upon other communities living there. In her own culture, only
cowards keep shingled hair. But in America, her long and heavy hair is forcibly
shingled. She resents in her own child-like way by slipping away from the scene
and kicking and scraping. The
other account is of a girl from a so called lower caste in India. She sees an
elderly person of her caste being insulted by a landlord. Her brother tells her
the social inequality faced by the people of lower castes. He encourages her to
study hard in order to rise in social position. She does so and feels better. कहानी
