Collection

This collection contains substantial resources for the study of the history of Communist parties of Punjab from 1920s to 1970s. Its special strength is in many of the unpublished pamphlets and inner party documents which were marked for party members only. There are a number of published pamphlets, a number of original letters, cuttings from contemporary newspapers, as well as supportive material invaluable to Punjab scholars. The documents were collected during Dr Singh's research for his Ph.D thesis on the Communist Movement in Punjab [Communism in Punjab up to 1967, London School of Economic and Political Science, University of London, Ph.D. 1989, and published as 'Communism in Punjab', New Delhi, India: Ajanta 1994, 355pp.]. Documents are in English, Panjabi and Urdu.
