Mahatma Gandhi, who was deeply influenced by this song, cited it as one of his favourite songs. The song is often quoted in the context of political or social change movements. The song exhorts the listener to continue their journey, despite abandonment or lack of support from others. Ekla Chalo Re was incorporated in the "Swadesh" (Homeland) section of Tagore’s lyrical anthology Gitabitan. It was influenced by Harinaam Diye Jagat Matale Amar Ekla Nitai Re, a popular Bengali Kirtan song of Dhapkirtan or Manoharshahi gharana praising Nityananda, disciple of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Originally titled as "Eka", the song was first published in the September 1905 issue of Bhandar magazine. Jodi Tor Dak Shune Keu Na Ase Tobe Ekla Cholo Re ("If no one responds to your call, then go your own way alone"), commonly known as Ekla Cholo Re, is a Bengali patriotic song written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1905.
