From the nobel laureates study :)



Where the mind is without fear



Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls

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.



This a personal favourite from the Geetanjali. I love the way freedom of thought is emphasized.
