It reminds me ofthe words of Rabindra Nath Tagore: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 domesticwalls;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 desertsand of dead habit;Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought andaction…Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.… and this is what I also wish for the Himachal Pradesh University.Professor A.
