Appreciation of the poem -

Where the Mind is Without Fear.

"Where the Mind is Without Fear" is a thought-provoking poem written by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, an Indian Writer, Poet and Philosopher. It is a prayer to God in which Tagore addresses God as "My Father" and asks Him to awake his country into a heaven of freedom, where there is a total freedom of good thoughts, good words and good actions. He wishes for a country where people should be free from fears, where knowledge would be free to all individuals and people from all castes and religions should be united. The poem is written in free verse without any rhyme scheme or metre throughout the poem. Figures of speech like

Repetition, Metaphor and Personification are used to give more poetic effects. "where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection" - Here the poet personified 'tireless striving' stretching its arms to reach its goal.

The special feature of this poem is the emotion it conveys and the strong feelings of the poet for the progress of the country. It is an extremely patriotic poem written in the form of a prayer. It is a poem of hope. The poet uses many metaphors to elaborate the evils existent in the country. It is the full of positive and negative imagery. My favorite line is :b'Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high'. I like this line because there is a very positive emotion in this line, showing fearlessness, dignity and self-respect. I like this poem because it displays Tagore's metaphoric sketch, the disparity between the present time and place and a future where people are truly free. It is simple, deeply sensitive, poem which carries a universal appeal of peace and harmony.
