Ep.7: Surkh Salam! Communist Literature in Pakistan

Join us as we explore an often overlooked part of Pakistan's history.

We discuss the lives and contributions of three significant post-partition communist literary figures: Sajjad Zaheer, Saadat Hassan Manto, and Mohammad Hassan Askari. Utilizing research from Kamran Asdar Ali's book Communist Politics and Class Activism in Pakistan, 1947 to 1972.

We explore the impact of these figures on literature, art, and culture, as well as their critiques on class struggle and societal norms.
