Answers
Answer:
Such a state of affairs leads to the continuance of a vicious cycle of poverty such that those born into the family of bangle makers have no other alternative in life but to follow the family profession, exile themselves to a life of penury and lose their mental as well as physical health by making bangles.
The bangle-makers of Firozabad are quite poor. They do not have enough money to do anything except carry on the business of making bangles. Some even do not have enough to pacify their hunger.
Answer:
The line "the young men echo the lament of their elders" refers to a common complaint by the people in the bangle-making profession.
Explanation:
Their complaint is their cry for not having enough money to do anything except make bangles for a living which doesn’t provide them with an apt amount of food. This has affected their lives vastly. Poverty and the scarcity of food together form a vicious cycle which surround their lives leaving them no choice but to follow the family profession of bangle-making and live a life of extreme hardship.
