I long for the island of songs across this heaving sea of shouts.

Power doesn’t heal history. It repeats it.

That’s why he may feel “anti-national” today.
Because he asked for humanity before identity.

Tagore wasn’t wrong.
He was early. 🧠🔥

Congress slams PM Modi, calling him 'Master Distorian' over Vande Mataram remarks. Demands apology for insulting founding fathers & Tagore. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/modi-congress-vande-mataram-row-f7c6m9yw?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #VandeMataram #NarendraModi #Congress #Tagore #parliament

At one pole of my being, I am one with sticks and stones. There I have to acknowledge the rule of universal law. That is where the foundation of my existence lies, deep down below. Its strength lies in its being held firm in the clasp of the comprehensive world, and in the fullness of its community with all things.

"Over a century ago, a quiet voice from Bengal had sensed where unchecked nationalism could lead. Writing in #1917, during the Second #WorldWar and at the height of imperial ambition, Nobel Laureate Rabindranath #Tagore warned of nationalism becoming a mechanical and dehumanising force."

Where the hind is without fear and the head is held high
Where kibbles are free…
…Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my pantry awake.

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.

⬆️ “Where the mind is without fear” (see above) was written by #Tagore in 1910 when #India was still under the #BritishYoke.

Meanwhile, #MartinSheen recites the Nobel Laureate's poem at The White House without attribution, and only after mangling the very first line 🙄

>> It is less safe to be anti-#Trump in public now. His followers are angry and have no one specific to target, so they will go after anyone and everyone. Retaliation is going to happen. Be safe out there.

I know you have good intentions, but if I cower from fear now, it's not like the #fascists will spare me when they have power.
