Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941 / Calcutta (Kolkata), Bengal Presidency / British India)
Poems by Rabindranath Tagore : 215 / 215
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

in short, this poem is patriotic poem and i love this winner the noble prize poem.
This is the reason for the Nobel Prize.
Such a thinking, such a devotion deserve the Nobel Prize...
fear is the thing that deter a person to perform well. the fear of punishing by teacher for not doing assignment compell students to complete it even it does not fall on their desire giving inefficient results.the poet has vented out his desire on awaking his country into the heaven of freedom and where every hardly done actions will pay off, there would be no superstitions(instead reason should be there to claim and follow something) .in real terms it is crystal clear that the poet is hopeful of positive outcomes after they get freedom.

When we live without fear, we experience freedom: physical freedom (a world without 'domestic walls') , mental freedom (clear stream of consciousness free from 'dead habit') , and essentially, spiritual freedom (returning to truth and perfection) .
