तोप / The Cannon
तोप (The Cannon)
“The Cannon” is a Hindi poem in Class 10 Sparsh Bhag 2 by Virendra Dangwal. Students explore how a once-feared cannon, now displayed in a park, becomes a symbol of changing power and forgotten authority. Through irony, personification, vivid imagery, and the playful presence of sparrows and children, the poem contrasts violence and fear with ordinary life, freedom, and resilience. It also helps learners understand the poem’s central idea, tone, poetic language, and message about the temporary nature of power.
