Sarojini Naidu before getting married to Naidu lived near the Coromandel Bay in Bengal as a girl. She was very familiar with the lives of the fishermen families there and was enchanted by their bone-breaking livelyhood and devotion to the sea who was their mother. She wrote the poem Coromandel Fishers as a tribute to those innocent natives. The sea-shore and it's people have traditionally influenced Indian Literature. In Bengali, there have been hundreds of songs. In Tamil, even Centuries back, an independent branch of poetry had been established as Neythal Thina Songs, which all sang about life in the Neythal Nilam, i.e, the Sea Shore Area. In Malayalam, the famous novel by Thakazhi and the world acclaimed film, Chemmeen, was the saga of the fishermen of the Kerala coast. LMFAO
