Lal Salam

Lal Salam (Malayalam: ലാൽസലാം, Hindi: लाल सलाम, Bengali: লাল সেলাম, Urdu: لال سلام‎, Kannada: ಕೆಂಪು ವಂದನೆ, meaning "Red Salute") is a salute, greeting, or code word used by communists in South Asia. The word lal means "red"; salam is an Arabic loanword for a greeting.

In some cases the equivalent phrase Surkh Salam (Urdu: سرخ سلام‎) is used interchangeably.

The tribute arranged by comrades after the death of a Naxalite is also called a Lal Salam.[1]

A 1990 Malayalam feature film called Lal Salam deals with the growth and deterioration of the Communist government of the state of Kerala, India.
