S1E2.a: Syed Azeem on Consciousness & Tradition: the Paradox of the Left in Pakistan

In this episode we interview Syed Azeem, a member of the Mazdoor Akath and an assistant professor at the Lahore University of Management Sciences in the School of Law. Azeem has been a part of the Pakistani Left for a few decades now and was previously associated with Mazdoor Kisan Party (MKP) and the Progressive Writers Association.

In this interview, Azeem shares his views on the current state of the Left in Pakistan, and highlights the loss of a Left tradition of revolution in Pakistan, even as Left consciousness has grown in the shape of various popular movements.

This episode is part of Jamhoor Radio's first season on progressive and revolutionary politics in Pakistan. This episode is in Urdu, with a translation in English provided below.
