Bringing to real life the ideal spirit of "Where The Mind Is Without Fear" by Gurudev Ravindra Nath Thakur

"Where The Mind Is Without Fear" by Tagore

"Where the mind is without fear" is the English translation of Rabindranath Tagore's Bengali poem Chitto Jetha Bhoyshunyo. It's a prayer for a nation characterized by freedom, knowledge, and unity, where individuals can think and act without fear or oppression.

Tagore's own translation, in the 1912 English edition of Gitanjali.


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.

By Rabindranath Tagore [1861-1941], who is considered the greatest writer in modern Indian literature.

Hindi: Jahan Nirbhaya Chitta ho mastak uncha, Gyan ho badha heen. Part of Bengali Gitanjali.
