National Women's Day in India is being celebrated on 13th February in honor of which prominent woman's legacy?
Sarojini Naidu
National Women's Day in India is celebrated on 13 February, the birth anniversary of Sarojini Naidu (born 13 February 1879 in Hyderabad).
Known as the "Nightingale of India" for her poetry, she was the first Indian woman to become President of the Indian National Congress (Kanpur session, 1925) and the first woman Governor of an Indian state (United Provinces, 1947).
Annie Besant was the first woman President of the Congress (1917) but was Irish-born; Savitribai Phule's birth anniversary falls on 3 January; Aruna Asaf Ali is remembered for hoisting the flag at Gowalia Tank in 1942. International Women's Day, by contrast, is on 8 March.
Hence, the answer is Sarojini Naidu.
