Question

Critical appreciation of the poem"In the Bazaars of Hyderabad".

Answer 1

The poetess Sarojini Naidu in her 'In the Bazaars of Hyderabad' beings out the vibrance and true Indian spirit of the bazaars in Hyderabad where we can get items of daily use like rice, lentil and spice along with the ornaments and expensive items like tunics of brocade, ornaments, ivory and saffron. We can also see musicians playing sarangi and sithar. Magicians chant spell that lasts forever. The flower girls make crown for bridegroom and chaplets for his bed. The poem ends with the irony that they also make sheets of white flower to be used for a dead. The colorful and rich imagery bring the bazaars of Hyderabad alive to the reader. The use of questions 'What do you ...', simile and sensory words lend a unique appeal for the reader.

Answer 2

Answer:

the Bazaars of Hyderabad' is a five-stanza poem with a steady trochaic/iambic mixed beat and simple alternating full rhyme. It is a rhetorical question-and-answer poem—the speaker could be walking through the bazaar loudly asking each of the different people just what it is they are making and selling.
