Sarodjini Naidu was een gevierde dichteres wiens suggestieve verzen de geest van haar natie vastlegden. Haar geschriften zijn doordrenkt van lyrische kwaliteit, en verkennen vaak thema's als patriottisme, vrijheid en de veerkracht van de menselijke geest. Als prominente figuur in de Indiase onafhankelijkheidsbeweging waren haar leven en werk nauw verweven met de strijd voor zelfbestuur. Naidu's literaire nalatenschap dient als een krachtig getuigenis van haar rol als zowel kunstenaar als activist.
