About Sarojini Naidu
Sarojini Naidu was an Indian political activist, poet, and the first female Governor of the United Provinces. She played a crucial role in India’s independence movement and became the first Indian woman to serve as the president of the Indian National Congress. Naidu’s literary works, especially her poem “In the Bazaars of Hyderabad,” earned her the nickname “Nightingale of India” from Mahatma Gandhi.
