[IAC#RG] AWAKENING

I HAVE THE URGE TO REPRODUCE THE FOLLOWING WRITTEN BY
GURUDEV RABINDRA NATH TAGORE FOR MY DEAR COUNTRY MEN/WOMEN
Where the mind is without fear,
And the head is held high,
Where knowledge is free,
Where the world is not broken up,
Into fragments by narrow domestic walls,
Where words come out from the depth of truth,
Where tireless stirring stretches its arms towards perfection,
Where the clear streams of reason,
Has not lost its way into the dreary desert sands 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.
IN THE POEM MY UNFORTUNATE COUNTRY HE WROTE ABOUT THE CASTE SYSTEM
All those whom you have insulted for centuries,
You will have to to come to their level one day,
You don't worship the God in every human being
RABINDRA NATH TAGORE WAS A VISIONARY
HIS SONGS, POEMS, WRITINGS ADVOCATES
LOVE FOR NATURE, STRENGTH OF MIND,
LOVE FOR MANKIND.
I AM SURE EVERYONE KNOWS HE RELINQUISHED,
HIS KNIGHTHOOD AFTER JALIAN WALA BAGH,
WROTE A SCATHING LETTER TO THE BRITISH
VICEROY CALLING BRITISH A BARBAROUS RACE.
ANYBODY ELSE IN HIS PLACE WOULD HAVE BEEN
ARRESTED.
ALL ARMED FORCES VETERANS SERVED INDIA
WITH THE HEAD HELD HIGH AND THE MIND WITHOUT
FEAR.
A tribute to all veterans.
JAI HIND, VANDEMATARAM, SATYAMEV JAYATE, PEOPLE FIRST
MISSION ALWAYS.
