“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 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.”

Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore
