Asad Zaidi reflects on the history of the Progressive Activities magazine in Pakistan, noting its evolution from the 1970s and the involvement of influential figures such as Iqbal Ahmed and Feroze Ahmed. Despite challenges in the late 80s and 90s, there's optimism for a revival of progressive politics in Pakistan, particularly through collaboration with current activists like Tamur and Amar.
The urgency of supporting this movement is emphasized, and plans to digitize and share 50 Progressive journals are announced. The call for unity, adherence to the agenda, and overcoming technical difficulties resonates throughout the address.
