Gaurav Gatha-E-15-Sarojini Nayadu

Sarojini Nayadu

SAROJINI NAIDU, one of the most remarkable women of her time, was born in Hyderabad on February 13, 1879 in a family known for its scholarly background. Even as a child she composed verses in English. Later, she emerged as an eminent poet. She was called the "Nightingale of India." Sarojini acquired surprising mastery over the English language at a comparatively tender age. It is no wonder she became one of the most thrilling orators in English in the country. 
Gopal Krishna Gokhale had once advised Sarojini to "dedicate your life, your talent, your song, your speech, your thoughts, your dreams to the mother- land", and this she fulfilled with unfailing courage. She was in the forefront of India's struggle for freedom and became one of the principal lieutenants of Gandhiji. She was the first Indian woman to preside over the Indian National Congress. She visited foreign countries several times to plead the cause of India's freedom. She was the first woman to become the Governor of a State in independent India. A great champion of Hindu-Muslim unity, Sarojini Naidu fought all her life for women's rights.
