  • Abstract:
  • India has produced many cerebral and noted women in its history. These women secured a spellbound place in their nation to reflect their works. In one of them is Sarojini Naidu who is ratified as ‘Nightingale of India'. Sarojini Naidu is cognized as Political activist, Freedom fighter, Feminist and Poet. Sarojini Naidu was born in 1879 at Hyderabad under British raj. Her parent's name was Aghornath Chattopadhyay and Barda Sundari Devi. Sarojini was bestowed with scholarship by the Nizam of Hyderabad to study in England when she logged a Persian play “Maher Muneer". In England she met Edmund Gosse a noted literary figure. He suggested Sarojini to frame her works with Indian touch and theme. With his encouragement, Sarojini embellished her lyrics with Indian hues, culture, festivals, seasons and vehemence and earned the rubric of Indian Yeats. Sarojini was the ardent partisan of women rights. She advocated to suffragette movement for right of casting vote by women. She was accompanied to jail several times for her patriotic and nationalistic acts. In the bazaars of Hyderabad, The Autumn Song, The Indian weavers, Humayun to Zobeida, The Golden Threshold, Pardanashin and The Palanquin Bearers are the grandiose examples of Indian history and framework. Her lyrics have vivid imagery, sense, natural arrangement and women elucidation with magnolious touch. Sarojini volunteered in freedom fighting with prominent leaders of her era such as Gandhi, Gopal Krishna Gokhale and Mohammad Ali Jinnah. She served in plague during British raj and credited as Kesar -i- Hind award by British govt. She renounced the award to protest against Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Sarojini served as the first Indian female president of Indian National Congress because of her outstanding oratory and nationalistic motifs. She was elected as the first woman governor of Uttar Pradesh. Her devotion for her country through her poems is pinnacle and sempiternal. Women’s day in India is celebrated on her birthday. Sarojini Naidu was the convey of Women rights and Hindu - Muslim brotherhood.
