Where the mind is without fear and the head is held highWhere knowledge is freeWhere the world has not been broken up into fragmentsBy narrow domestic walls …Where words come out from the depth of truthWhere tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfectionInto that Heaven of Freedom, my father, let my country Awake …This prayer of Rabindranath Tagore remains profoundly relevant today, resonating with the yearnings and longings of every Indian heart.
