Question

project on bangle sellers and it is an poem , the question given by the school is how sarojini naidu throws light on the life of indian women in which sarojini naidu is an poet of the poem

Answer 1

For the project, you need to give a short description of Sarojini Naidu and explain how her poems reveal true Indian spirit, whether it is Palanquin Bearers, Coromandel Fishers, Indian Weavers or In The Bazaars of Hyderabad.

Then you can explain the value of bangles for an Indian woman. They not only add to their beauty but also highlight their life as happy daughters and content wives. In maidenhood, they are a symbol of her delicate and tender beauty.  The bangles of blue and silver colour represent the tradition and customs well observed by her. On the other hand, yellow and red bangles indicate the marital bliss, love and promise of submission to a happy family life. Lastly, the bangles of purple and gold flecked grey are a symbol of her duties towards husband and children well performed. She sits by her husband's side to worship God. In a nutshell, the life of a woman revolves around fulfilling her duties towards her sons and husband. Also, it highlights the life of a woman in subjugation in the patriarch society.

Hence, she portrays a very conservative lifestyle of an Indian woman. Though with the changing times, the role and image of a woman have changed but Sarojini Naidu's poems are always loved for their true Indian essence and spirit.
