- 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
In the aftermath of the recent carnage in Mumbai there has been a huge upwelling of emotions among Indians, the war cry being 'Enough is enough" and the politicos have been in such open public ire as never before. Everybody has a view as what ails the system. Its seems to me like some IMPOTENT RAGE. We need to stand in front of mirrors and recite Tagore's verses and see for ourselves - as a human being, as a citizen, of our country- where we stand !!
