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.
- Rabindranath Tagore, a visionary he was !

good one !!! this poem cam at the right moment when andhra is burning in the flames of telengana.
Those fasinating facts abt india's history , growing economy etc etc always fasinated me but on the other side i read and see people burning public buses breaking buildings, communal roits , selling fake drugs. it is not 2 sides of a same coin more over it is "so called litrate" people getting exposed in a process of covering their foolishness , stupidity , ignorance , arrogance etc......
all we need is die hard Patriotism , we always lacked it, french traveller whom i met in goa said "we are a great land but not a land of great people anymore"..........
all i wish is may such poems move people towards just one goal , " MY INDIA IS THE BEST"
