its name is where the mind is without fear.....short summary for it is:the poet rabndranath tagore wants his contrymen to wake up and to be together and to fight for their goals n rights ........elaboration of this poem:
This poem in this selection has been taken from his English 'Gitanjali'. Tagore had a very deep religious caste of mind and profound Humanism. He was both a patriot and an internationalist. In the poem, 'Where The Mind Is Without Fear', Tagore sketches a moving picture of the nation he would like India to be. Where everyone within the fold of the brotherhood is free to hold up one's head high and one's voice to be heard without having any tension of fear of oppression or forced compulsion. Where the knowledge is not restricted by narrow ideas and loyalties. The British rule had robbed India of its pride and dignity by reducing it to a subject nation.
The India of Tagore's dream is a country where her people hold their heads high with their pride in knowledge and strength born of that knowledge. Where all countrymen must come out the aged-old world of people who have lost the vision of one humanity by the narrow loyalties of caste creed and religion. Prejudice and superstitious which narrow the mind and divide people would be a thing of the past. Where the words of truth come out from the depths of the heart and are spoken out courageously in the open for the world to hear. People would work for perfections in the clear light of reason leaving aside all superstitious ritual.
Where everyone is free to toil and work hard for anything they desire either for their own or for the good of the nation. Everyone is encouraged to strive tirelessly till they attain full satisfaction in reaching their goals and perfection. Where blind superstitious habits of thought and action have not put out the light of reason. Where people's mind should not dwell in the mistakes of the past nor be possessed by it. On the other hand they should be led by the power of reasoning to be focused on the future by applying scientific thought and action. Tagore's only prayer to the Supreme Ultimate is leading the nation to such an ideal state of heaven. It is only by the universality of outlook and an abiding passion for the realization of great human ideals that India will achieve her true freedom. This way alone she will realize her destiny

∙ 11y agoWhere one feels fearless and honored, where knowledge is free, where the whole world is united, where one expresses sincere feelings, where one tries so reach perfection continuously, where new ideas are not disturbed by dead tradition and where the mind is directed to generous thought and action, let my country awake in such heaven of freedom. In the world our mind should be fearless and we should be respected.
Knowledge should be free there. The world should not be divided into smaller parts by the narrow conception of nationalism. The reality should be sincerely represented. We should aim to reach perfection. Our mind should be led towards selfless thought and action. In such an ideal place our country should be awakened. The poem might be trying to show the value of knowledge, courage, self-dignity,
altruism, sincere, and reasonable thought. If all these qualities are found in the countrymen of a particular country, the country itself will be the heaven.
The poem has run away from the harsh reality and tried to establish an imaginary heaven. Will it be possible for us to create such an ideal place here on earth? How can we fight into remove evils if we run away from everyday life? Is such an ideal desire alone enough to face the reality?
The poem has described how we should live fearlessly and proudly. It has also pointed out the cause of war between nations -- the artificial borderline. I came to know how dead habit hinders progress -the check of the reason.
