      Summary of the poem “Where the Mind Is Without Fear”

      About the poet (Rabindranath Tagore)

      Rabindranath Tagore was born in Kolkata on 7th May 1861. He was a polymath, who wrote on many subjects and reshaped Bengali Literature. His works were translated in many ways.

      Tagore’s writings are highly imagistic and deeply religious. They also reflect his love for his homeland and nature. In 1913, he was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

      Two nations chose his compositions as their national anthems: India’s Jana Gana Mana, and Bangladesh’s Amar Shonar Bangal. Gitanjali, a famous Bengali work, is his.

      Where the Mind Is Without Fear Summary:

      The current state of the country is unacceptable to the poet. He asks God for a harsh shock to wake up his country and make it a better place. The men and women of India can have true freedom with God’s help. Indians must be confident in their minds and behave with dignity to achieve this.

      Indians should not be impeded in their quest for truth and knowledge. They must also be free from any Darrow customs and habits. It is not possible to achieve human unity through narrow divisions. Indians must be honest and truthful and must work tirelessly to reach perfection in an ever-expanding field. They must be honest in word and action, grounded on clear reasoning. The poet prays for true freedom of mind, spirit and will not be subject to foreign rule.

      Summary of Where the Mind Is Without Fear

      The poet asks God for freedom of opinion, expression, liberty from superstitions, and freedom from social evils. This prayer leads to perfection. The poet asks God for freedom from oppression, and for each person to be able to stand strong. The country should have access to knowledge that is free and affordable for all regardless of caste, gender, religion, or creed. He wants a country where there are no superstitions, prejudices, or other beliefs, and where everyone is united.

      He wants a country where all can speak honestly and are open to sharing their opinions. He desires a country where everyone can work hard for the country’s benefit and their satisfaction.
      Everyone is inspired to work hard until they are satisfied.

      The author prays that Indians will be rational and forward-thinking in their thinking and actions. He wishes that countrymen would be ruled by the power and logic of reason. He does not need the “stream” of reason to be drowned in old traditions and customs.

      It shouldn’t be a country with blind and superstitious ways to think and act that prevents the light of reason from shining through. People shouldn’t dwell on the past, or become possessed by it. People should instead be guided by their ability to reason and able to focus on the future with logical thought and action.

      He prays to God for a change in the nation’s mindset and approach. He begs God to bring his country into a “heaven for liberty”. India will only be able to deliver true freedom if there is a broad outlook and passion for realizing great human goals. Only then will she be able to fulfill her destiny.

      Theme of Where the Mind Is Without Fear

      The poet said that true freedom is a man’s inner possession and can only be achieved with God’s help. It is the moral and spiritual upliftment of people who are guided by God. India should feel empowered and encouraged to follow the path of truth and knowledge. It should free her from narrow superstitions, prejudices, and be able to make her people honest in thought and action.

      Men and women in India must put forth a great mental and spiritual effort to attain this true freedom with God’s guidance and help. True freedom is true patriotism. It is more than narrow nationalism or self-love of nations.
