Q:- Who was the first women governor of an Indian state ?
-> Sarojini Naidu...
Sorojini Naidu was the first women governor of Uttarpradesh in free India. She was also the first women to be elected as a president of 'Indian National Congress' in 1925. Famously known as Bharatiya Kokila (The Nightingale of India), Sarojini Naidu was born on February 13, 1879 in Hyderabad. She was the eldest daughter of Aghornath Chattopadhyaya and Barada Sundari Devi. Her Father was a scientist and philosopher and mother was a poetess.
She was fluent in Urdu, Telugu, English, Bengali, and Persian. She studied at the Madras University, before moving to England to study. At the age of 15 she met Dr. Muthyala Govindarajulu Naidu and fell in love with him, a non-brahamin and a doctor by profession. After finishing her studies at the age of 19, she married him during the time when inter-caste marriages were not allowed. It was a revolutionary step but Sarojini's father fully supported her in her endeavour.
The partition of Bengal in 1905 drew her to join the Indian freedom struggle. She traveled from state to state, city after city and asked for the rights of the women. She re-established self-esteem within the women of India. Sarojini Naidu was a distinguished poet, renowned freedom fighter and one of the great orators of her time.
She passed away on March 2, 1949 in Allahabad.
