Scribbling poetry at a young age, Sarojini Naidu had hardly hoped to become a poetess and be called “Bulbul-i-Hind” by then President Rajendra Prasad. Her poetry found way in her patriotic speeches and debates in the Constituent Assembly. “I shall now request Bulbul-i-Hind, the Nightingale of India, to address the House not in prose but in poetry,” said Chairman of the Constituent Assembly Dr. Sachchidananda Sinha addressing the third Assembly debate in 1946. Members of the Assembly cheered Naidu to take the microphone. Naidu recited then, “Bulbul ko gul mubarak, gul ko chaman mubarak, rangeen tabiaton ko range sukhan mubarak.”
Sarojini first met Mahatma Gandhi in 1914 at his lodging in Kensington, England. Meetings with many leaders including Gandhi happened at the behest of Gopal Krishna Gokhale, her lifelong mentor. Drawing inspiration from the two men, Naidu joined the Indian National Movement in 1905 during the Partition of Bengal.
Eleanor Morton describes this encounter between Naidu and Gandhi in her book titled “Women behind Mahatma Gandhi”. At the time of the meeting, Gandhi was having supper. Morton describes the scene as a “little man” seated on the floor surrounded by tins of ground nuts, “eating a messy meal of squashed tomatoes and olive oil”. An amused Sarojini stood silently by the door when Gandhi looked up and laughed, “Ah. You must be Madam Naidu. Come in and share my meal.” “No thanks. What an abominable mess it is,” Naidu replied and laughter of the two rang in the room.
An active participant of the freedom movement, Naidu delivered fiery speeches across the country. She spoke of women’s rights, labour rights and urged all to join the struggle. With Annie Besant’s help she founded Women’s India Association in 1917 and focused like many others in the Constituent Assembly on women’s education and abolishing child marriage. As part of the Swadeshi movement, Naidu urged women to give up foreign cloth. The second woman to become the President of the Indian National Congress after Annie Besant in 1925, she chaired the annual session of the party at Kanpur.

“As long as I have life, as long as blood flows through this arm of mine, I shall not leave the cause of freedom…I am only a woman, only a poet. But as a woman, I give to you the weapons of faith and courage and the shield of fortitude. And as a poet, I fling out the banner of song and sound, the bugle call to battle. How shall I kindle the flame which shall waken you men from slavery…” --------> given by Sarojini Naidu
