Question

1. Why does Rabindra Nath Tagore compare reason with stream in the poem, "Where the Mind is Without Feur"​

Answer 1

The poet in 'Where The Mind Is Without Fear' has described 'reason' or logical thinking as a 'clear stream' that can wash away the stagnant heap of superstitions and 'dead habits'. Indeed, good rational thinking is what can clear our mind of all evils of prejudice and can lead to the nation's progress.
