‘’ where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
where knowledge is free. 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 arms into the dreary desert sand of death habit.
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action into that heaven of freedom…..Let us all awake’’
