Certainly! Here's a line-by-line summary of the poem "Where the Mind is Without Fear" by Rabindranath Tagore:
"Where the Mind is Without Fear" - Line-by-Line Summary
1. Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
A place where people live with confidence and dignity, free from fear. 2.
Where knowledge is free;
Where education and knowledge are accessible to all, without restrictions.
3. Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic
walls;
Where there is unity and no division caused by petty, parochial boundaries or
prejudices. 4. Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where people speak honestly and sincerely from their hearts. 5. Where
tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where people work hard continuously, aiming for excellence and improvement.
6. Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary
desert sand of dead habit;
Where rational thinking and logic flow freely, not hindered by outdated
customs or blind traditions. 7. Where the mind is led forward by thee into
ever-widening thought and action-
Where the mind is guided towards growth, broader understanding, and
progressive actions. 8. Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my
country awake.
A prayer to God to awaken the nation into this ideal state of freedom,
enlightenment, and unity. If you'd like, I can also provide a brief overall
summary or explain the poem’s themes!
