15. Rabindranath Tagore’s Vision
Where the mind is without fear,
Where 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!
17. “ The most
beautiful thing is
to see a person
smiling…
And even more
beautiful is,
knowing that you
are the reason
behind it ! ”

spirits fired by an unquenchable
faith in their mission can alter the
course of history ”
Mahatma Gandhi
