To tell you how significant this poem is globally, in a speech to the Indian Parliament in New Delhi in 2010, President Obama used the first two sentences of the English translation.
Of course, India not only opened our minds, she expanded our moral imaginations -- with religious texts that still summon the faithful to lives of dignity and discipline, with poets who imagined a future “where the mind is without fear and the head is held high” -- (applause) -- and with a man whose message of love and justice endures -— the father of your nation, Mahatma Gandhi. (Applause.)
Most of the teachers accross the globe would consider this poem to be a devotion to one's own motherland being tied in the bonds of slavery. But I, as a teacher, would always want it to be placed above the limits of being tied just to a nation.
This poem for me has always been a beautiful piece which truly depicts a wonderful Utopian Land without any constraints pr limits.
If any Stackers resonate the same from the poem, gladly tell your views. Also, tell me if you have any other piece of writing which talks about Utopian notions in the same way.
Thanks for reading
Sats for all..
