Dr. Hari Sharma and Dr. Chin Banerjee were diehard humanists and outspoken activists who never held back. The stalwarts in the South Asian Canadian community were often the lead participants in progressive politics, democratic rights, and social justice.
They spoke fearlessly on human rights violence, state terrorism, or the treatment of minorities and Dalit communities by the state or the majority community.
I wish these scholarly and progressive Simon Fraser University professors were alive today to share their views about the present state of affairs, from Trump to Modi, the genocide in Gaza and the US-Israel war with Iran.
