Sarojini Nagar Market of Delhi is not only famous for cheap and trendy shopping, but also has a very proud story behind its name. Today millions of people come here to shop, but perhaps few people know that this market is named after a great freedom fighter and poetess of India.

The name of Sarojini Nagar, earlier called ‘Vinay Nagar’, was changed to ‘Sarojini Nagar’ after 1947. The name was named in honor of Sarojini Naidu, who played an important role in getting India independence.

History and importance of Sarojini Nagar Market

Earlier there was ‘Vinay Nagar’

Today, where there is Sarojini Nagar Market, a colony was established in the 1940s, which was called ‘Vinay Nagar’. After independence, the government changed its name to Sarojini Naidu, so that his contribution could be remembered.

Sarojini Naidu’s contribution

Sarojini Naidu is called ‘Bharat Kokila’. She was a close aide of Mahatma Gandhi in the freedom movement and became the first woman governor of Uttar Pradesh in 1947. His poems and speeches still inspire.
