Lal Salam

Lal Salam (transl. "Red salute"[1]) is a salute, greeting, or code word used by communists in South Asia. The phrase is a compound of lāl, meaning "red" in Hindi-Urdu, and salām, meaning "peace", a contraction of the Arabic phrase as-salāmu ʿalaykum, a Muslim greeting meaning "peace be upon you".
