SAROJINI NAIDU (1879 – 1950)

Hey all, Whats Up???? Hope you all have a great day ahead. Today I am going to share you all about the Nightingale of India as well as Bharat Kokila, Any Guess???? Okay She is Sarojini Naidu. She was born in Hyderabad. Her father, Aghorenath Chattopadhyay’s wisdom and scholarship nurtured the innate qualities of this prodigy and enabled her to matriculate at the age of twelve. The education she received at the age of twelve. The education she received at the Universities of London and Cambridge, her perfect ear for rhyme and her sensitivity to sound made her a poet of the first order. Her volumes of verse, the golden threshold(1905), The Bird of time (1912) and the broken wing (1917) manifest the poet’s sensitivity to ambiance.

Sarojini Naidu was a multifaceted personality. The sweeping current of the freedom movement pulled her strongly into its fold and made her the president of the Indian National Congress. She served as the Governor of utter Pradesh too.

Sarojini Naidu always had a special liking for her home-town- Hyderabad. Two predominant cultures, the Hindu and the Islamic, converging here had cast an everlasting spell on Sarojini. In this poem she exotically describes the wares displayed in the bazaars of Hyderabad. She has beautifully and gracefully captured the bright colors, forms and sounds in In The Bazaars of Hyderabad. Like Keats, she gives her sensory experiences a lasting place here. Thanks and Regards.
