If you do that, people would look up to you and many may follow you as well. Your friend is not interested in casting his vote and getting his Voter ID Card? Don’t bother, just be on your own and head to vote. Not only in West Bengal but in all the states of our Nation, the citizens must take inspiration from this song. If no one responds your call to fight against the rigid system, you must go on your own to cast your vote. Hence, even today, ‘Ekla Chalo Re’ is relevant.

Our power lies in the fact that the constitution clearly mentions the fundamental right to vote for every citizen who is 18 years of age. We now have the power to tackle oppression and for this resistance we need no weapons at all. The thing we are talking about is our very own right to vote. We say that there is still one thing we have now but was missing a century ago. Now the oppression is led by bureaucrats and the corrupt politicians and not by the colonists.Īmidst this tension one might question that what is that the common man has in hands to tackle this oppression in the modern age of today. Whereas, oppressors have changed for sure. Oppression is the only thing that has remained since the turn of the previous century. For sure, there is no more colonial rule in our nation but one could not say the same for oppression. What is our take? Well, we think that things may have changed a lot since 1905 but this song has not lost its relevance at all. Written in 1905, being almost 110 years, one might question the relevance of this song in today’s age. The sorrow that came from oppression by the Colonial Rule. The great Rabindra Nath Tagore wrote a song, the wordings of this iconic Bangla song were “ Jodi Tor Dak Shune Keu Na Ase Tobe Ekla Cholo Re.” The translation being:- ‘If no one responds to your call, just walk alone.’ Showering patriotism, this song must have had enormous influence on the citizens under crisis and sorrow.
