II. THE PEOPLE'S THEME IN SAROJINI NAIDU'S POETRY
The people's theme dominates in Sarojini Naidu's poetry as seen in the fact that the two parts in his first two poetry collections, the Golden Threshold and Time Bird are titled 'Folk Songs' and 'Indian Folk Songs'. These titles are rather misleading, however, the songs from both sections are the people's themes in Sarojini Naidu's poetry. The lyrics of his folk songs are characterized by their simplicity and their pictures are taken from everyday scenes and views of people's lives.

Some of Sarojini Naidu's poems such as' Indian Weavers', 'The Bangle-seller', Bear the Corn-grinders', 'The Palanquin-Bearers' showcase the character of the people and their work. As K. R. Srinivasa Iyengar points out, "The panorama of the eternal life of India captivates it endlessly. The hard work of many people in India, but what makes life bearable -and sometimes even fun -is the stimulation provided by songs and jokes and rhythmic movements. In some of his early poems, Sarojini Naidu has tried to capture and reproduce in English lilt and the atmosphere of
