About the Lesson

“The Coromandel Fishers” is one of the most celebrated poems by Sarojini Naidu, often known as the Nightingale of India. This poem beautifully captures the spirit, struggles, and undying hope of the fishermen living along the Coromandel Coast of India. With its rhythmic flow and lyrical beauty, the poem conveys not only the daily life of the fishermen but also the deeper themes of freedom, courage, unity, and the bond between humans and nature. Through vivid imagery and poetic devices like personification and alliteration, Naidu presents the sea not just as a source of livelihood but as a nurturing mother, a protector, and a symbol of life’s journey.
