She got so enthused by this that she wrote "The Lady of the Lake", a poem 1300 lines long. When her father saw that she was more interested in poetry than mathematics or science, he decided to encourage her.

Extractions: Sarojini Nadu (Chattopadhyay) (1879-1949) Saroji Naidu, the Indian Nightingale took birth in Hyderabad, in a Bengali Brahman family. Sarojini was the eldest daughter of Aghorenath Chattopadhayay who was principal of the Nizam's College, Hyderabad. She entered Madras University at the age of 12 and studied (1895-98) at King's College, London, and later at Girton College, Cambridge. After some experience in the suffragist campaign in England, she was drawn to Mahatma 's Satyagraha and Non Violence Philosophy. In 1924 she travelled in eastern Africa and South Africa in the interest of Indians there and the following year became the first Indian woman president of the National Congress. She toured North America, lecturing on the Congress movement, in 1928-29. Back in India her anti-British activity brought her a number of prison sentences (1930, 1932, and 1942-43). She accompanied Gandhi to London for the inconclusive second session of the Round Table Conference for Indian-British cooperation (1931). Upon the outbreak of World War II she supported the Congress Party's policies, first of aloofness, then of avowed hindrance to the Allied cause. In 1947 she became governor of the United Provinces (now Uttar Pradesh), a post she retained until her death. Sarojini Naidu, "the Nightingale of India," also led an active literary life. Her first volume of poetry, The Golden Threshold (1905), was followed by The Bird of Time (1912), and in 1914 she was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. Her collected poems, all of which she wrote in English, have been published under the titles The Sceptred Flute (1928) and The Feather of the Dawn (1961).

Extractions: SAROJINI NAIDU (1879-1949) Sarojini Chattopadhyay was born at Hyderabad on February 13, 1879 . Her father, Dr. Aghorenath Chattopadhyay , was a descendent of the ancient Chattoraj family of Bhramangram , who were noted throughout Eastern Bengal as patrons of Sanskrit learning, and for their practice of Yoga. She is known as the Nightingale of India. Sarojini was the eldest of a large family, all of whom were taught English at an early age. "I," she writes, "was stubborn and refused to speak it. So one day when I was nine years old my father punished me - the only time I was ever punished - by shutting me in a room alone for a whole day. I came out of it a full-blown linguist. I have never spoken in any other language to him, or to my mother, who always speaks to me in Hindustani. I don't think I had any special hankering to write poetry as a little child, though I was of a very fanciful and dreamy nature." "My training under my father's eye was of a sternly scientific character. He was determined that I should be a great mathematician or a scientist, but the poetic instinct, which I inherited from him and also from my mother (who wrote some lovely Bengali lyrics in her youth) proved stronger. One day, when I was eleven, I was sighing over a sum in algebra: it wouldn't come right; but instead a whole poem came to me suddenly. I wrote it down."
