Question

1. What do the merchants
Where are the maidens? Why are they grinding sandalwood, henna and spice​

Answer 1

Answer:

From the poem, in the bazaars of Hyderabad by Sarojini Naidu

Explanation:

Ans. ) The role of the merchants is to sell different things bought from foreign lands in the bazaars of Hyderabad. They sell things like turbans of crimson and silver, tunics of purple brocade and so on.

These merchants are rich men and what they are selling is for the rich as the common people cannot afford to buy all these products.

The vendors, pedlars and the maidens all add to the enigma of the ‘bazaars’ of Hyderabad. The vendors sell saffron, lentils and rice. The pedlars sell chessmen and ivory dice. The maidens grind sandalwood, henna and spice. Grinding of spices by woman shows that in India women also participate in the activities of the bazaar.
