India Post issued two postage stamps and a Miniature sheet on 7th May to commemorate 150th Birth Anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore. On the miniature sheet Tagore’s famous poem “ where the mind is without fear” is also printed on the right side in poet’s own handwriting.
Where The Mind is Without Fear
- WHERE the mind is without fear and the head is held high
- Where knowledge is free
- Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
- By narrow domestic walls
- Where words come out from the depth of truth
- Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
- Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
- Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
- Where the mind is led forward by thee
- Into ever-widening thought and action
- Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
- -Rabindranath Tagore
