Freedom: Where The Mind Is Without Fear
Where The Mind Is Without Fear by Rabindranath Tagore
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… Contd below

The
poem, Where The Mind Is Without Fear,
by Rabindranath Tagore, was written before India’s
independence
and shared his vision of what a new, independent and awakened nation would be.
The message of the poem is also applicable to our individual struggles for personal freedom and growth. When I read the poem today, it struck
a chord and resonated deep inside; prompting loads of questions: As a
writer/blogger, do you feel free to express all of your views? Do you feel
stymied by public opinion or social decorum? Do you worry that your boss might
be unhappy with your writings? Do you feel the weight of your family values and
upbringing standing in the way? I ask these questions because there are times
when I wonder why I changed my mind about a post or reluctantly avoided delving
into an emotionally charged subject. I tell friends I don’t need the agida but
I’m not sure that is the full story
