Memories of Childhood
What makes you agree that the seeds of rebellion against injustice are sowed early in life?
The children by nature are sensitive and go on noticing as well as experiencing what they think is wrong or unjust. They may be weak physically but emotionally they are quite awake and alert. They feel perturbed on seeing in justice. When they grow up, they stand up in open rebellion against the oppressor. Zitkala Sa and Bama are the current examples of this type.
