EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Mrs Sarojini Naidu, one of Mahatma Gandhi's esteemed woman disciples in South Africa. The image was taken on 8th April 1924 upon her arrival at Cape Town, where she was warmly welcomed by supporters. In the photograph, we see a group of Indian men and women gathered around Mrs Naidu as she stands tall and elegant in her traditional sari. Adorned with flowers, she exudes grace and strength, embodying the spirit of resistance against injustice that both Gandhi and herself fought for. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this twentieth-century snapshot, allowing us to travel back in time to witness this historic event unfold. The fez hats worn by some of the men hint at their cultural heritage while also symbolizing unity within the group. Mrs Sarojini Naidu's presence in South Africa during this period highlights not only her commitment to Gandhian principles but also serves as a testament to the global impact of nonviolent resistance movements. This photograph is an invaluable piece of Europeana photography that preserves an important chapter in our shared human history.
