| Notes | Poem which appears to reflect upon the effects of the British Raj in India: the 'slaves of the empire' are notably mentioned here. The city of Fatephur Sikri is mentioned in the poem as well, which held a British administration centre from 1803 until 1850, and hand been abandoned until then. Many references to various aspects of Indian culture, including the sitar, rupees, costumes, and dancing animals. The final line of the poem, referring to the pain of the sitar player, appears to be insightful to the underlying theme of colonization. |
