Read the poem.
pardah is a religious and social practice of seclusion in some hindu or muslim communities of south asia. women are either physically separated from males using separate buildings, screens, walls, or curtains, or they may be concealed by loose clothing and veils.
the pardah nashin
by sarojini naidu
her life is a revolving dream
of languid and sequestered ease;
her girdles and her fillets gleam
like changing fires on sunset seas;
her raiment is like morning mist,
shot opal, gold and amethyst.
from thieving light of eyes impure,
from coveting sun or wind's caress,
her days are guarded and secure
behind her carven lattices,
like jewels in a turbaned crest,
like secrets in a lover's breast.
but though no hand unsanctioned dares
unveil the mysteries of her grace,
time lifts the curtain unawares,
and sorrow looks into her face . .
who shall prevent the subtle years,
or shield a woman's eyes from tears?
what is the central idea of this poem?
no one can escape the sorrow caused by the passage of time.
women must be free in order to realize true happiness.
when protected, women are free to realize their full potential.
religious customs, like the pardah, lead to happiness.
