WHERE THE MIND IS WITHOUT FEAR
(Modified for the present-day scenario by G R Vora, with due apologies to Late Poet Rabindranath Tagore)
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high,
Where our fellow countrymen are not selfish, short-sighted, self-centered, apathic, greedy and narrow minded,
Where they realise the importance of fulfilling their duties towards the society and the Nation;
Where all exercise their franchise to choose honest leaders and are vigilant to theirs' and the administrators' actions ;
Where they speak up against evil and injustice;
Where none tolerate corruption, misgovernance, maladministration and lethargy from the rulers;
Where all live in an environmentally sustainable manner;
Where all care, love, live in harmony and brotherhood with fellow living beings;
Where all participate in the governance process to demand transparency, accountability and better rule;
Where the mind is led forward into ever-widening thought and action;
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
