Where The Mind Is Without Fear

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 the clear stream of reason has not lost its way in the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Into that heaven of freedom
Let this country awake

Note: The poem above was written by Rabindranath Tagore, a famous Bengali poet, and winner of the Noble Prize in Literature. His poems are recited and sung in both, West Bengal and Bangladesh.
