Rabeendranath 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

toward 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!”
