As I recall (from reading Martin Green\u2019s book titled Gandhi: New Age Revolutionary ) both Jinnah and Gandhi sought to be in the good graces of Sarojini Naidu. I believe Jinnah and Sarojini Naidu overlapped in England. Jinnah tried his hand in theatre and may have thought of an acting career. Sarojini and he shared an interest in the arts, she as a poet and writer, he in the theatre. Green, as I recall, pictures something like a rivalry for the good graces of this talented lady. In an Indian context she seems to have gravitated to Gandhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
