The Poetry of Sarojini Naidu Background

The Poetry of Sarojini Naidu Background

The Poetry of Sarojini Naidu is a collection of poems authored by Indian author and the first woman to be President of the Indian National Congress, Sarojini Naidu. The collection was curated by L. N. Mishra and published by B. R. Publishing Corporation in 1995. She was famously known as The Nightingale of India for her moving and cult-like inspirational words of freedom and sovereignty.

Naidu often wrote about life, nature, and how mankind practiced their patriotism and the fight for freedom from the colonial powers. A lot of the writing is deeply rooted in the culture and heritage of the Indian people. Using her poetic justice and literal prowess, she greatly relates to the plight of the Indian people under oppression.

The poems included in the collection are beautifully alliterated that some artists have been able to sing them without changing the words. They are filled with passion and love for the people, and the author sympathizes with the countless number of statesmen apprehended for their fight of freedom of India.
