Maysel Brar on Harpal Brar HB Memorial service

from Proletarian Radio · host The Communists

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJNDJzxewow Maysel Brar, who has worked in the movement under her maidan name of Kathy Sharp, was Harpal's close comrade and companion. They were married in 1966, raised Ranjeet and Joti together, and remained close collaborators, through all difficulties, throughout 60 years of struggle. Her thoughtful tribute is both moving and profound. This video was shot in January 2025 at Harpal Brar's memorial service in Bolivar Hall, London. It was a moving tribute and celebration of his life, held with his friends and family, representatives of Socialist nations and fraternal political organisations. Many comrades spoke in moving and generous terms, giving solidarity with his family and party, and paying tribute to his political contribution. We will share the messages of all the comrades who spoke at the service.

He was a lecturer in Law, a barrister, a historian, a marxist scholar, theorist, thinker and teacher. Harpal was one of the foremost leaders of the British working class, and the Indian working class in Britain. He was a great leader of the world communist movement, holding aloft the torch of reason, of proletarian class consciousness and struggle in the dark days after the collapse of the USSR - when the imperialist bourgeoisie were riding high and proclaiming their rotten and parasitic system to be "the end of history".
