Answers
Answer:
In The Bazaars of Hyderabad is one of Sarojini Naidu's most popular poems. It was first published in her book The Bird of Time, in 1912, from the section titled 'Songs of My City.'
Sarojini Naidu (1879–1949) was born in the city of Hyderabad and raised in a relatively wealthy family. Her father was a scientist and educational administrator, her mother a poet and artist.As a young child, Sarojini began writing verse of good quality and being a studious type did well enough in university exams to gain a scholarship to England, spending three years at King's College, London and Girton College, Cambridge, 1895–98.
While in England she sharpened her poetic skills and gained invaluable advice from teachers and writers, including Edmund Gosse and Arthur Symons. Her work, at first imitative and heavily influenced by such poets as Tennyson and Keats, began to focus on Indian life and culture, and became more exotic and true to itself.
Answer:
'In 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. Or the answer is already known to the speaker.
This poem is lyrical and straightforward. It evokes the atmosphere of the bazaar (from the original Persian: a street or covered market where goods are bought and sold) in the poet's city of Hyderabad, southern India.
The use of the archaic second person plural pronoun 'ye' contrasts with the more modern singular 'you' throughout the poem. The rather old fashioned 'ye' was still popular in many Victorian poems at that time.
