This paper delves into the poetic contributions of Sarojini Naidu, one of India's most celebrated poets, known for her vivid portrayals of Indian life and culture. Her work, often classified under English Romanticism, is equally imbued with realism, capturing the essence of Indian tradition, social issues, and the natural environment. This paper explores how Naidu’s poems reflect realism and provide insights into societal issues, human relationships, and the natural world, analyzing both thematic and stylistic aspects. Her unique approach demonstrates how she transcended her role as a poet to become a voice of realism in Indian English literature.
