enter Tagore’s Where the Mind is Without Fear is an inspirational prose-poem which’ shines and sings’. It is a manifesto, a prayer. It is a sermon and a wake-up call. It is all this and more. In this poem of eleven lines, Tagore has put together his recipe for freedom and uses some vivid metaphors which add overtones of meaning. He wants India to come out of her long slumber to meet the challenges ahead and realize her hopes and potentialities.

Tagore echoes a sentiment nearer to what Byron called the “eternal spirit of the chainless mind”…
