'''Sarojini Naidu''' (13 February 1879 – 2 March 1949) was an Indian political activist and poet. A proponent of [[civil rights]], [[women's emancipation]], and [[anti-imperialistic]] ideas, she was an important figure in [[Indian independence movement]]. Naidu's work as a poet earned her the sobriquet 'the Nightingale of India' by Mahatma Gandhi because of colour, imagery, and lyrical quality of her poetry.<ref name="ISCE">{{Cite book |title=Treasure Trove: A Collection of ICSE Poems and Short Stories |publisher=Evergreen Publications (INDIA) Ltd.|year=2020 |isbn=9789350637005 |location=New Delhi |pages=13}}</ref><ref name="Ahmed2015">{{Cite web |last=Ahmed |first=Lilyma |title=Naidu, Sarojini |url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Naidu,_Sarojini |access-date=5 August 2015 |publisher=[[Banglapedia]]: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh}}</ref><ref name="Raman2006">{{Cite encyclopedia |year=2006 |title=Naidu, Sarojini |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of India |publisher=Charles Scribner's Sons |last=Raman |first=Sita Anantha |editor-last=Wolpert |editor-first=Stanley |volume=3 |pages=212–213}}</ref><br />
