Our Voice And Yours!


07/01/2019

Dear Readers,


Wishing you all a wonderful Happy July 4th !

On this day of celebration of freedom we wanted to share with you a wonderful poem by Rabindranath Tagore that is very relevant even now

Let My Country Awake”

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.

The original Bengali language poem, “Chitto jetha bhayashunyo”, was published in 1910 and included in the collection Gitanjali by Tagore.
