Question

The qualities the poet wants to inculcate in his countrymen

Answer 1

I would say, the two most important characteristics that Tagore wishes to inculcate in his countrymen are hard work and broad-mindedness. These two qualities alone can probably make a man, and in turn, a nation successful.

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection.

Tagore wants in Where the Mind is Without Fear that people strive tirelessly to reach perfection. That would give a boost to the nation’s productivity and progress. Moreover, if a man is passionate about working and nothing else, he cannot get involved in useless things like gossiping, criticizing others and discriminating people on the basis of their race, religion, class and all. Work would become his only obsession. This was very important in the British India when the native people were lazy and neglecting their work and the poet felt that the country needed some motivation and a change in their attitude. And it is equally relevant even today.
