--->'the head is held high'-alliteration(the alphabet 'h' is repeated to give a poetic effect), metaphor-the Indian people regaining their pride and no longer being miserable under British rule.
---->where the world has not been broken up into fragments-metaphor-the Indian people must transcend their pretty differences and think beyond the needs of themselves and their immidiate
family.
where the clear stream of reasons has not lost its way-metaphor-just as a clear stream let's us see what is at the bottom of it so,does clear thinking get us to the Bottom of a problem.
into the dreary dessert sand of dead habit-metaphor-habits don't literally die,especially not while we are still using them so 'dead'.here stands as a metaphor for things we do repeatedly and unthinkingly .
into that haeaven of freedom,my father,let my country awake-personification-countries cannot literally awaken so the poet is personifying his own country.

“Where the mind is without fear ”is an extract from ‘Gitanjali’ by Rabindranath Tagore,who projects a picture of a socially and economically free nation. In his plea to God, he implores Him to be a motivating factor to enlighten and enrich his country men with the spirit of freedom, nationalism and unity for the country. Written during the pre-Independence era, Tagore prays to God to elevate his country into a free land where freedom will exist as a fundamental system of reasoning of a sovereign state of mind. One must possess a fearless mind with one’s head held high in self-esteem. Knowledge gained by the countrymen ought to be free from prejudices. The world should not become fragmented through internal strives and feuds. The mental make-up should be free from the superstitious, narrow and gloomy practices. The poet, finally, conceives of a situation, where the mond is guided by the Divinw One to awaken ourselves from the errors of our commitments.
The poem is devoid of a rhyme scheme and lacks rhythm. The poem being highly imagistic and deeply motivating, it binds various perceptions of the world. One of the most appealing lines is “Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way” because without reasoning, we cannot progrss.
Though the poem is of 11 lines, it builds up an effective climax, in addition to driving home the central theme. The selective and apt use of figurative language enhance the effect of the poem. The poet is successful in maintaining a universal tone.
