"A country's greatness lies in its undying ideals of love and sacrifice that inspire the mothers of the race", she believed. A proponent of civil rights, women's emancipation, and anti-imperialistic ideas, she was an important figure in India's struggle for independence from colonial rule. Remembering 'Nightingale of India', Sarojini Naidu on her Punyatithi, she has been and will always be a true inspiration to womanhood. 
 
When people can't express through tounge, they choose to bleed through their pen, becoming writer isn't easy though. Single emotion but innumerable styles, abundant ideas and infinite techniques of communicating; Only a writer can do this and so was Sarojini Naidu, who was given the title of 'Nightingale of India' because of her major contribution in the firld of poertry, which contained English words.. but Indian soul!

Here are 7 'must read' classics by Sarojini Naidu :
 
The Golden Threshold- 1905
 
The 100 paged classic is nothing but a beautiful collection of Indic poetry by activist and poet Sarojini Naidu. Naidu makes reader feel that humans are intrinsically pure and loving. Readers love her complex simplicity and her 'see-through-the heart' poems. Although not a book lover, this book may attract the reader not only for the English poetry, but some poems, especially those about Indian countryside and common people like weavers, dancers.

The Bird of Time: Songs of Life, Death & the Spring- 1912
 
This antiquarian volume contains a complete manual of the art of angling for roach, with comments on methodology, equipment, tactics, and other information useful to the roach fisherman. While there are some pretty good poems here, this is a really neglected and unappreciated collection, a colored diwan of poetry.
