Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was the 'Nightingale of India', and her voice was first heard in 1905 when 'The Golden Threshold' was published. This collection of Sarojini Naidu's early work is already infused with the rich imagery and lush descriptions of India that she was known for. Borrowing from the tradition of British Romanticism, the works are largely lyric poetry. But never mind the style, it is the substance that counts. A rich range of content includes songs for music, folk songs and poems, all opening a window and allowing the scents and sounds of early-20th century India to blow in. Evocative, educational, imaginative, charming...this is ideal for fans of Arundhati Roy's 'The God of Small Things' and the poetry of Daljit Nagra. Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) was an Indian poet and political activist. She was educated in Madras, London and Cambridge, where she took up the cause of women's suffrage. Back in India, she became a leading figure in India's struggle for independence from colonial rule. Her poetry, which was vivid, colourful, evocative and challenging, earned her the title "The Nightingale of India". In 1925 Naidu was made president of the Indian National Congress and in 1947 was appointed Governor of the United Provinces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarojini Chattopadhyay was born into a Bengali family in Hyderabad, India on February 13th, 1879. the eldest of the eight siblings. The family was well-respected in Hyderabad and were established artists. Naidu passed her matriculation examination at the University of Madras and took a four-year break from her studies. In 1895, H.E.H. the Nizam's Charitable Trust founded by the 6th Nizam, Mahbub Ali Khan, gave her the chance to study in England, first at King's College, London and later at Girton College, Cambridge. Even in these early times she was a social activist. It was whilst in England that she worked as a suffragist and was first drawn to the Indian National Congress' Hindu movement for India's independence from British Colonial rule. Naidu became a part of the Indian nationalist movement and was a follower of Mahatma Gandhi and his idea of swaraj (this was an India without its colonial administration systems). She began writing at the age of twelve. Her play, 'Maher Muneer', written in Persian, impressed the Nawab of Hyderabad. It was an auspicious start. Sarojini met Paidipati Govindarajulu Naidu, a physician, and after finishing her studies at age 19 married him. The couple would have five children. Interestingly their families approved their marriage even though they were from different castes and society was not as tolerant as it might be today. Additionally, Sarojini was from Bengal and Naidu from Andhra Pradesh and marriages between those from the north and south were frowned upon. Happily, they overcame these problems and both marriage and careers thrived. In 1905, her first collection of poems, 'The Golden Threshold' was published. Despite her growing political career she still found time to write and published several further volumes of poetry. Such was her eloquence that she became known as the 'Nightingale of India'. Sarojini was appointed the President of the Indian National Congress in 1925 and was a major influence and figure in the Independence movement. Along with several other Congress leaders including Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru she was arrested for taking part in the 1930 Salt March. Indeed Sarojini faced frequent arrest by the British Authorities and spent, in total, many months in prison. Following India's independence from British rule in 1947, Sarojini was appointed as the governor of the United Provinces (the present-day Uttar Pradesh) in so doing she became India's first woman governor. Returning from work in New Delhi on 15th February, 1949 she was advised to rest by her doctors, and her official engagements were cancelled. Her health deteriorated rapidly and on 1st March bloodletting was performed after she complained of severe headache. Sarojini Naidu died of a cardiac arrest on 2nd March 1949.

Book excerpt: The Bird of Time (1912) is a poetry collection by Sarojini Naidu. Naidu's second book of English verse is steeped in the Romantic tradition while entirely conscious of the present political strife of her native India. From songs of love to portraits of urban life, Naidu's poems reflect her commitment to feeling, both for herself and for others. Traditional and modern, The Bird of Time is a powerful collection from a young poet on the brink of an impassioned life in politics. "O Bird of Time on your fruitful bough / What are the songs you sing? . . . / Songs of the glory and gladness of life, / Of poignant sorrow and passionate strife, / And the lilting joy of the spring..." In this mysterious ode, Naidu addresses the themes of her own multitudinous poems--life, love, grief, and nature, among countless others. Is the Bird of Time her muse, or a symbol for poetry itself? How can a poem express "the pride of a soul that has conquered fate?" As in much of Naidu's poetry, the symbolic maintains its distance in order to reflect a deeper, perhaps even personal truth. To describe the poem, to assign it meaning, would ultimately negate the need for poetry itself, whose powers must remain at least partially veiled. Elsewhere in the collection, "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad" reflects her commitment to the struggle for Indian independence as it celebrates the homegrown produce and handmade wares of a proud and lively people. Moving along the street, she sings to vendors, goldsmiths, and musicians alike, concluding before a group of flower-girls, whose work serves weddings and funerals. Beneath this vibrant imagery is a call to action for the Swadeshi movement, a boycott of foreign goods designed to strike a blow against British commerce. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Sarojini Naidu's The Bird of Time is a classic work of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.
