Celebrating India's Independence day

Speedysid
By Speedysid

Here's wishing that this following poem by the great poet Rabindranath Tagore penned for India, takes shape and form, and inspires us Indians to herald in a new era.

Happy Independence Day to all citizens of India!

I hope sentiments are respected and there's no bashing on this thread. Thank you.

"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"
- Rabindranath Tagore
