Nihar Bagchi, known as Manchu Dada, is a 27-year-old independent rapper from Kolkata, India, who has recently gained fame for his politically charged song 'Banglar Bichar' (Justice for Bengal). The track criticizes the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government, addressing issues such as the education recruitment scam and 'syndicate culture', which have been focal points for opposition parties. Since its release, 'Banglar Bichar' has gone viral, accumulating over a million views and being shared by leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)). Bagchi, who comes from a financially disadvantaged background and had to leave college after two years, began his music career in 2019. His previous work included the song 'Kolkata Bhai', but 'Banglar Bichar' has resonated more deeply with the public, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with governance in West Bengal. In an interview, Bagchi emphasized that his lyrics are based on real observations of societal issues, asserting that while he does not engage in politics, his music captures the emotions of those who feel voiceless. The music video showcases Bagchi traversing various locations in Kolkata, visually reinforcing his critique of the current administration. The song's viral success highlights its relevance in the ongoing political discourse in West Bengal as elections approach.
