Question

Are our action governed by 'reason' or by 'dead habits'?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the poem Where the Mind is Without Fear, the poet compares 'reason' to a clear stream and 'dead habits' to a dry desert. Reason or logical thinking is the thing that makes a nation progressive. On the other hand, 'dead habits' (superstitions) make a nation stagnant.
