#BJP’s version of Tagore's Where the mind is without fear:-

Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high,
Hit those heads with a rod
and let these minds die.
Where knowledge is free,
Spread some propaganda
and let our bhakts rejoice in glee.

Where the world
has not been broken up into fragments
by narrow domestic walls,
Create figments of false hope
and thrive on jumlas and brawls.
Where words come out
from the depth of truth,
Get journalists murdered
and create “hot-girl” calling booths.

Where tireless striving
stretches its arms towards perfection,
Capture laureates, academicians,
and everything that resents;
put them to detention.
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way,
Distort history, tangle facts,
but the statues should stay.

Where the mind is led forward by thee
into ever widening thought and action,
Wear million dollar suits
to get some media traction.
Into that heaven of freedom,
my father, let my country awake;
But before that,
a self-absorbed regime of fascism and repression is
what this government wants to make.
