Question

is the poem a prayer for india alone

Answer 1

The poem was primarily meant for India, no doubt. The poet prays for his ‘country’ to raise it to a ‘heaven of freedom’, as it was still under the rule of external forces. Moreover, people were ignorant, shallow-minded, lazy, opportunistic and superstitious. So the poet was sad to think of his countrymen and expressed his concern in this poem in the form of a prayer to the God.

But as a work of art, the poem should be and now is interpreted with a wider approach. The poet has talked about the evils of human society that are prevalent more or less all over the world. So, this should be seen as a prayer for the good of entire humanity.
