Summary Of Poem Freedom
In this poem, the famous Indian poet, Rabindernath Tagore expresses his wishes and vision for his motherland, India. The first wish he has for India is the wish of freedom from fear. He believes fear of his countrymen is responsible for her plight of slavery.
The second wish he has for his motherland is the freedom from the burden of sense-less, illogical, and orthodox beliefs and traditions which don’t let her see the future.
His third wish for India is to break free of her fear of taking risks; he wants her motherland to dare to walk on the adventurous path; he also wants her not to trust so much in the uncertain destiny; nor allow the control of her forward movement in the hands of narrow-minded and heartless people.
His last wish for her motherland is the freedom from humiliation of living as slave in the hands of foreign invaders. He wants her to stop living like a puppet whose each and every movement is governed and controlled by the master of the show. He wishes for her motherland to live freely, taking her own decisions and creating her own future.
