Celebrating National Women’s Day With The Courage And Reminisces of Sarojini Naidu

India’s nightingale, women’s liberationist and freedom fighter patron Sarojini Naidu who participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement and Quit India Movement is remembered today on her 142nd death anniversary.

Naidu was titled with ‘Nightingale of the India’ by the Indian government recognizing the beautification of her poetry. While her participation in poetry was recognizable, she is known for her prestigious ideas leading to India’s struggle for independence.

Commencing the Bharat Kokila’s achievements, here’s what we know of her:

  1. Naidu was the eldest among her eight other siblings.
  2. Naidu belonged in Bengali family while her ancestral roots belonged to Bangladesh. She was born in Hyderabad. Her mother Barada Sundari Devi was a poet and her father Aghorenath Chattopadhyay was Nizam’s College principal.
  3. She married Paidipati Govindarajulu Naidu after completing her studies.
  4. Naidu was arrested multiple times in the year 1942 during the Quit India movement and Civil Disobedience movement by the Britishers and spent 21 months in jail.
  5. She was appointed the INC President in 1925 and in 1947, she became the governor of the United Provinces.
  6. She was an adamant follower of Satyagraha and was first woman president of Indian National Congress. She was also the first woman governor of India.
  7. Following her contribution to the plague epidemic in 1929, the British government awarded her the Kaisar-i-Hind

Cherishing an excerpt from her writing ‘Alabaster’

"Like this alabaster box whose art
Is frail as a cassia-flower, is my heart,
Carven with delicate dreams and wrought
With many a subtle and exquisite thought.
Therein I treasure the spice and scent
Of rich and passionate memories blent
Like odours of cinnamon, sandal and clove,
Of song and sorrow and life and love."
