Poem by Rabindranath Tagore:
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.
Short Summary:
This poem is
written by Rabindranath Tagore during pre-independence days, when India was a
colony of the British. The underlying theme of the poem is absolute freedom;
the poet wants the citizens of his country to be living in a free state.
According to the poem, we see that the poet is expressing his views there
should be a country, like where people live without any sort of fear and with
pure dignity…they should not be felt suppressed by any authority. The idea of
democracy seems well receptive here.
Next, the
education should be accessible to all irrespective to their caste, creed,
religions and so on. Broadly, there should be no social layers that should stop
people from taking education. One education for all, without discrimination.
The next
appeal is that the people of the country should be living united, not to be
bogged down by the social barriers like casteism, regionalism or religion etc.
In the next lines, the poet says that people must remain free from
superstitions and must try to achieve perfection in their skill sets. In the
end, the poet requests God that let his country get awakened in all those
conditions which he mentioned earlier.
