A Strong India
As we celebrate yet another Independence Day, a day that has no significance for a vast portion of Indians, we look back at the vision of a strong India, by a true visionary Rabindranath Tagore. Where the mind is without fear and the head is held highWhere knowledge is freeWhere the world has not been broken up into fragmentsBy narrow domestic wallsWhere words come out from the depth of truthWhere tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfectionWhere the clear stream of reason has not lost its wayInto the dreary desert sand of dead habitWhere the mind is led forward by theeInto ever-widening thought and actionInto that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
Together let us pray for a better India that realises True Freedom; True Independence
