Where the Mind is without Fear.
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 arm towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

Where the mind is lead forward by thee
Into that heaven of freedom.
My father, let my country awake. – Rabindra Nath Tagore, Nobel prize Winner.
