Sarojini Naidu, an Indian independence fighter and poet, was born in Hyperbad, India, in 1879.
Sarojini Naidu (née Chattopadhyay; February 13, 1879 – March 2, 1949) was a poet and political activist from India. She was a significant person in India's movement for independence from colonial authority, advocating for civil rights, women's emancipation, and anti-imperialistic beliefs. Because of the colour, imagery, and lyrical nature of her poems, Naidu acquired the moniker "the Nightingale of India" or "Bharat Kokila" by Mahatma Gandhi.
