West Bengal has been in news due to its acrimonious pre- and post-poll atmosphere. Today, it looks just the obverse of what it would have been in the times of Rabindranath Tagore. Bengal stands mutilated by the past 40 years’ long spell of divisive politics. Santiniketan’s founder would not have imagined the level of degeneration to which this land of poets, writers, and social reformers has descended.
Tagore won the Nobel Prize in 1913, a first for India under British rule. Western literati had gone gaga over his ‘Gitanjali’. His vast oeuvre also consisted of song-poems that later came to be known as Rabindra Sangeet. ‘Ekla Chalo Re’ exhorts the listener to continue his/her journey, despite the lack of company, support or guidance from friends and peers. This iconic message reflects in the great deeds of many achievers who might not even be aware of Tagore, but have epitomised the essence of this poem.
