Answer 1

Answer: Because poets countrymen were following obsoleted and outdated customs which was not based on irrational thinking so poet has used the metaphor dreary desert sand of dead habit

its not any habit!

but dreary desert sand means that dry place where clear stream is not found.in those days India was under suppression with all the social evils like racial discrimination caste system,etc this implies to the dreary desert which iis dry.hence the poet asks the the people of india to be free from all suppression and oppression and use scientific thinking reasons to achieve heir way and goals.where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way.
