Answer 3

it means the slum ppl are always suppressed. Its only those ppl who r enlightened created a history.

Answer 4

sun is a symbol of grace and light of god.
it refers to the light of education. The author feels that it is education alone that can  outshine them to break free from the constraints of life.

Answer 5

The poets means that only those people make history who are enlightened like the sun by the light of education.
This light would burn away the fog which has otherwise doomed the slum childrens' fate.
Up to now they have been living the life designed for them by the upper classes; now they will write their own history
