Significado
To take someone to court.
Contexto cultural
In West Bengal, the phrase is often associated with the Calcutta High Court, one of the oldest in India. The 'climb' refers to the red-brick gothic building's stairs. In Bangladesh, litigation is often seen as a 'life-long trap.' Taking someone to court is considered a very serious step that can last for generations. In rural areas, 'আদালতে চড়ানো' is a sign of ultimate social failure, as it means the village elders (Matabbars) could not solve the problem. The phrase is a staple in courtroom dramas where the hero finally decides to 'take the villain to court' to get justice for the poor.
Causative Power
Always use the '-ano' ending to show you are the one initiating the action against someone else.
Don't Overuse
This is a strong phrase. In Bengali culture, threatening court too often can make you seem difficult or litigious.
