c. He is wishing for a nation where everyone within the fold of brotherhood is free to hold up one’s head high and one’s voice can be heard without having any apprehension or fear of oppression. He talks about a nation where knowledge is not restricted by narrow ideas and is free of cost.
d.The poet wants freedom for his country because being free from the shackles of ignorance and narrow-mindedness would take it to the heights of success and it will create a name for itself in the whole world.
