Answer 1

Hint: The poem In the Bazaars of Hyderabad is a vivid, colourful description of Hyderabad's bazaars. This poem was composed during the British occupation of India when Indians were encouraged to shun foreign items and instead shop at traditional Indian bazaars. Because Indian newspapers were outlawed at the time, the poet may have believed that the best way to get the word out to the people was via poetry.

Complete answer:
The poem 'In the Bazaars of Hyderabad' opens with the poet asking the bazaar merchants what they are selling. The merchants respond that they are selling silver and scarlet turbans, purple brocade tunics, amber-framed mirrors, and jade-handled daggers.

The poet asks the identical inquiry to the sellers about what they are measuring and selling in the second stanza, which is about another stand. The sellers are selling saffron, lentils, and rice. When the poet inquires about what the maidens are grinding, she is told that they are grinding henna, sandalwood, and spices. When the poet inquires about what the pedlars are selling, they respond that they are selling ivory chessmen dice.

In the third verse, the poet inquires about the decorations made by goldsmiths. They produce wristlets, anklets, and rings, says the goldsmith. Furthermore, they claim to make bells that are attached to the feet of blue pigeons. The bells are as delicate as the wings of a dragonfly. They produce gold girdles for dancers and sheaths for monarchs' swords at the same time.

Thus, The goldsmiths are creating tiny bells that will be attached to the blue birds' feet. The bells are as delicate as the wings of a dragonfly.Dancers' girdles and monarchs' scabbards are made by goldsmiths.

Note: The Swadeshi movement is a topic in the poem, albeit it is not explicitly stated. In the poem, Naidu encourages Indians to buy items from their local bazaars and to join the Swadeshi movement, which calls for a boycott of all imported goods.
