Where The Mind Is Without Fear Poem by Rabindranath Tagore ...
From A. Sivanandan: Prasanna was a searcher, an inquirer, a seeker of what he believed to be the universality inherent in the human condition. He was a patriot in the finest sense of the word − in the every sense that Tagore evoked in his poem: Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit Where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. From Gitanjali
