Critical Analysis of Where the Mind is Without Fear:
“Where the Mind is Without Fear” was written during the reign of the British in India, prior to the country gaining its independence from colonial rule. In fact, Tagore died just a few years before 1947, when India became independent. So the country that he was living in was a country under oppression. However, the oppression was not just physical in nature, but mental as well. The Indian population had started believing that they would never be free. They were always afraid of what they would be subjected to next by the British administration. They had lost their self-confidence and dignity. Thus, their spirit had been entirely drained out of them and they were left pessimistic. Many Indians were denied admission into the elite educational institutes which were meant exclusively for the children of colonial officers. Only rarely were Indians admitted, and that too, if they were to gain entry there they had to belong to the upper classes, especially that class of the native population that chose to side with the British and were always at their beck and call. As a result of this, the Indian nation states were then willing to fight it out amongst themselves to curry favor with the colonial rulers.All this upset the poet greatly. So he dreamt of a better tomorrow – one in which his country would stand up for truth, for hard work, for reason, and for determination. He wanted his countrymen to stand united against the British, make themselves irreprehensible and fight for their freedom. He wanted them to be open-minded and for their actions to speak louder than their words. By referring to God as “Father”, he was saying that all of his countrymen were the children of God. Hence they must not discriminate amongst themselves on the basis of caste or creed but must stand up for each other. They have a common goal – independence – and must work side by side to achieve it.
