Criticism Class: Walk Alone

    On 10th February 2025, I conducted a criticism class on the poem “Walk Alone” by Rabindranath Tagore as part of my teacher training practice.

This poem, originally written in Bengali as “Ekla Chalo Re”, was analyzed from a critical and literary perspective, focusing on its thematic depth, poetic devices, and cultural context. "Walking alone" serves as a symbol of non-conformity and personal strength. It encourages one to act rightly even in isolation.

The session encouraged students to appreciate not just the poem’s message, but also the techniques and socio-political context that shape its literary importance.
