KARACHI: Colonial forces in India equated the communist struggle with anti-culture, anti-religion and anti-civilisation movements which harmed communist and progressive movements in the subcontinent. This was argued by Dr Ali Raza in his talk at a webinar titled ‘The Unsung Heroes: Genealogies of Progressive and Leftist Struggle against British Colonialism’ organised by the Irtiqa Institute of Social Sciences as part of its Hamza Wahid Memorial Lecture series on Monday evening.
Dr Raza, who is a historian and associate professor at LUMS, based his arguments on his book Revolutionary Pasts: Communist Internationalism in Colonial India.
