Salil Chowdhury composed this revolutionary song on the occasion of 29th July 1946, the day when government employees and various sections of the working people of British India went on countrywide sympathetic strikes in support of the all-India strike of one lakh extremely poorly paid postal employees defying opposition of the then established Trade Unions in Postal Department. The song also celebrates the historic Royal Indian Navy (R.I.N.) Mutiny of 1946.
