Born in a Bengali Hindu family on February 13, 1879 at Hyderabad, she was educated in Chennai, London and Cambridge. After passing her matriculation examination from the University of Madras, Sarojini Naidu took a four-year break from her studies and in 1895, the Nizam Scholarship Trust offered her scholarship at the age of 16 to study in England — first at King’s College London and later at Girton College in Cambridge.

Known as the Nightingale of India and regarded as one of the best Indian writers, Sarojini Naidu had fondness towards writing at the age of 12. Her anthology of poems ‘The Broken Wings’ was published in 1905. Her poetry includes children’s poems, nature poems, patriotic poems and poems of love and death. Palanquin Bearers, Coromandel Fishers, Autumn Song, Indian Weavers and In Salutation to the Eternal Peace are some of Naidu’s most famous poems. The Golden Threshold (1905) and The Broken Wing: Songs of Love, Death and Destiny (1912) are among her famous books.

Being a great political leader of the country, she actively participated in the Indian national movement during the Bengal Partition in 1905 and took the chair over the annual session of Indian National Congress in Kanpur in 1925. She was the first Indian woman to become the President of the Indian National Congress.
