Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of Uttar Pradesh commemorated the death anniversary of Sarojini Naidu, the eminent freedom fighter, poet, and the first Governor of the state, with heartfelt tributes. Naidu, fondly known as the ‘Nightingale of India’, left an indelible mark on the nation’s history through her multifaceted contributions.
During the tribute ceremony, CM Yogi Adityanath remarked, “Her life dedicated to women’s empowerment and national reconstruction is an inspiration for all.” This acknowledgment reflects the profound impact of Naidu’s relentless efforts towards social and political reform, particularly in advocating for women’s rights and India’s independence struggle.
Sarojini Naidu, born on February 13, 1879, into a Bengali family in Hyderabad, emerged as a prominent figure in India’s freedom movement. Educated in Madras, London, and Cambridge, her exposure to diverse cultures and ideologies shaped her worldview. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of swaraj, Naidu actively participated in the Congress party’s endeavors for self-rule.
Notably, Sarojini Naidu’s literary prowess earned her the epithet of the “Nightingale of India”, bestowed upon her by Gandhi himself. Her poetry, characterized by vivid imagery and lyrical depth, resonated with themes of patriotism and human experience. “In the Bazaars of Hyderabad”, published in 1912, stands as a testament to her poetic brilliance and enduring relevance.
“Moreover, Naidu’s exemplary leadership within the Indian National Congress, culminating in her presidency in 1925, symbolized her pivotal role in shaping the nation’s destiny. Following India’s independence, she assumed office as the first Governor of the United Provinces, further solidifying her legacy as a trailblazer in Indian politics and governance”.
As Uttar Pradesh pays homage to Sarojini Naidu on her death anniversary, her legacy continues to inspire generations. CM Yogi Adityanath’s tribute underscores the enduring relevance of Naidu’s principles of social justice, gender equality, and national unity, guiding the state towards a brighter future rooted in her visionary ideals.
