It was an inter-state marriage approved by both the families as Sarojini was from Bengal & Paidipati was from Andhra Pradesh.

Sarojini was into writing since the age of 12. She wrote a play Maher Muneer which impressed the Nizam of Hyderabad. In 1905, her first collection of the poem was published, which is named as “The Golden Threshold”. “The Bird of Times” is another poem collection which was published in 1912.

In 1925 she also presided over the annual session of Indian National Congress in Kanpur. Naidu also presided over East African Indian Congress 1929 session in South Africa. She was the one who got arrested with other congress leaders for participating in the salt march.

After the independence of India she was appointed as Governor of Uttar Pradesh & she served the position till his death in March 1949. Naidu died of a cardiac arrest in Lucknow at the age of 70. She was a lady full of energy, intellectual, sweet, courageous, with a charming personality. She was a great leader as well as a speaker with humour & emotions. She was a leading face of the freedom fighters. She will always be remembered in history for her great doing for India.
