what is significance of town firozabad

Firozabad is a city in India, in the state of Uttar Pradesh also known as 'City of Bangles'. The ancient name of this town was Chandwar Nagar. Here every other family is into the business of making bangles, generation after generation and they seldom leave this business. It is a small scale industry of glass-blowing, which is famous throughout the world. Here every member of the families is familiar with the art of welding glass and making bangles. Even the children are made to work at it from a tender age, which causes a lot of them to lose their eyesight from the dust of polishing bangles. Such back breaking hard work for a paltry living snatches away their childhood, which the author elaborates in the prose piece “Lost Spring”.
