Riya, honestly, I can't point to anything that reliably pays $50 in 1-2 hours today. These platforms screen first (application, tests or an interview) and usually take days to weeks, so the first payment is not same-day. Be careful with any offer that promises quick money or asks you to pay: that is a common scam sign.
The nearest fit is the Prompt Writer and Visual Storytelling Prompt Writer roles at Alignerr below. They are posted at $30–$120/hr, but those are posted rates, not a promise of work or pay. The micro1 writing roles ask for a degree from a listed English-speaking country, so check that first. On pay: low rates are common in some writing work (one posting is up to $25/hr), and the roles that pay more usually ask for more expertise.

Short answer: for Hindi work, pay does vary a lot by role, and some of it is low. In the postings, the Hindi language expert role is the lowest (about $5–$20/hr), while the Hindi transcription roles go up to $10–$35/hr or more. The Babel Audio transcriber is posted at up to $110 per audio hour, but that is per hour of audio, not per hour of your time, so it works out far lower per hour worked.
On earning $50 today in 1–2 hours: I can't promise that, and I don't see a role that reliably does it. Applications have steps (screening, tests, approval), so the first paid work usually takes days to weeks, not hours. Please be careful of anyone promising quick money; the scam checker is worth a look.
For Hindi plus English, the transcription and editing roles below fit best. The Hindi language expert role asks for a degree and 5+ years of localization experience, so it is stricter. Outlier takes people from India, but DataAnnotation does not.
If you have done this work, please share which platform paid you what, and how long it took to start.
