South Asian Oral History

Since a few years an oral history project is being undertaken by Shahriar Kabir, directed at collecting the memories of political activists from different progressive and nationalist backgrounds. These memories are preserved in the form of extensive video recordings. So far he has been able to collect such 'living memories' going back to the Chittagong Armoury Raid of the 1930s.
