Sarojini Naidu played a key role in India’s independence movement, serving as the first Governor of United Provinces post-independence. She was also the first Indian woman to lead the Indian National Congress. Educated in Madras, London, and Cambridge, she was an advocate for Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of self-rule and actively participated in the national movement.
