This term paper titled “Communist Party of Pakistan 1947-1954” was written in 1977 for the course “Political Parties in Pakistan” taught at Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad. This M.A. History course made me discover the existence and short history of the Communist Party, which was banned in 1954 during the peak of Cold War. Pakistan was a loyal ally of the anti-Soviet Western Block. Background: This paper is a part of a collection of old research papers (1976-1981) written as course requirements. The collection tells us a very interesting history of methods available to students to submit assignments to their professors; (a) hand-written on lined papers (b) manually typewritten and finally (c) electronically type written (no option of autocorrection or spellcheck. Whitener pen was used to make corrections). Further, these papers show language and grammar difficulties of a student who studied from Urdu-medium school and college. It was the time when no language/grammar editing was available and professors were lenient for grammatical errors.
