Ivory, curfew, boycott

What word is most suitable to use for elephant ivory used as a material in jewelry?

Haathi-daant (हाथी दाँत) is the one.

What would the Hindi equivalents be for "curfew"?

Nishedhagyaa (निषेधाज्ञा) is the Hindi word for it. We also use the same term "curfew" (कर्फ्यू) even in Hindi, but nishedh-aagyaa (aagyaa meaning order, and nishedh means prohibitory) is also there.

What is the hindi word for Boycott?

"Bahiskaar"
