The "narrow domestic walls" refer to Tagore's Bengal, which at the turn of the 20th century was presided over by Lord Curzon, the viceroy-general of India. Lord Curzon was fiercely imperialist in his outlook; he saw India (and by extension, Bengal) as subject to the whims of British paternalistic hegemony. To that end, Curzon ruled India with autocratic ruthlessness; no dissent was brooked or entertained; any demonstration of Bengali nationalism was not tolerated.
During the early 1900s, both Bengali Hindus and Muslims were at the forefront of the Indian nationalist movement. They had lost all patience with the "narrow domestic walls" the English had unequivocally confined Bengal to. Bengalis longed to thrive in a unified country, one in which "the world has not been broken up into fragments." Tagore wrote his poem at the turn of the 20th century. By this time, Lord Curzon was already planning to sow seeds of discord between Bengali Hindus and Muslims; he feared that the two powerful groups were quickly marshaling their forces for a confrontation of sorts. For his part, Lord Curzon privately developed the idea of partition and quietly made plans to bring it to fruition in 1903.
