The poem "Where the mind is without fear" by Rabindranath Tagore is a prayer to God.
Tagore addresses God as " my father" and asks him to awaken 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 fear , where knowledge would be free to all individuals and people from all castes and religions should be United .
The poem is written in a free verse without any rhyme Scheme or metre throughout the poem.
There are many figures of speech e.g Personification- "Where tireless striving stretches it's arm towards perfection. "
Here ,we can actually visualize " tireless striving" stretching it's arm towards goal.
The special features of the 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. My favorite line of the poem is " Where the mind is without fear and head is held high" . I like this line because there is a positive emotion in this line , showing dignity and self respect.

Where the Mind is Without Fear...
The title of the poem where the mind is without fear is written by Rabindranath Tagore in Bengali and later translated in English by himself. The poem is written in free verse without following any rhyme scheme or metre.
the poem dreams about the independent country where the value of truth democracy freedom are prejudice or perfective.
the poet has added many figure of speech in the poem like alliteration, repetition, simile ,etc.the example of alliteration is 'head is held high' where repetition of letter 'H' has shown and another example of it is, 'where the world' where repetition of letter 'W' is shown. And the poet has personified the nation and gave imagery to nation ,'' stretches its arm towards perfection''.
The poet has added many powerful line such as:- depth of truth, tireless striving, dreary desert sand, which impacts invocation and gives patriotic tone to the poem.
My favorite line from the poem are 'where the knowledge is free' the Tagore wishes that every child in the country should be given education and education should be free of cost for everyone. ' Into that heaven of freedom, my father let my country awake' Tagore has written this poem during the colonial rule, he wishes the countrymen for freedom, but except freedom he also wishes for freedom of economy, democracy and freedom of health.
I like this poem because it is very sensitive, fresh & has beautiful verses.
