For a Malayalam film with the same name, see Lal Salam (1990 film).

Lal Salam ( Template:Lang-ml,Template:Lang-hi, Template:Lang-bn,Template:Lang-ur, Template:Lang-kn meaning "Red Salute") is a salute, greeting, or code word used by communists in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal, Lal means red, the colour of communism, and Salam is an Arabic loan word in use in the subcontinent meaning greeting.

This greeting is common among all communist parties in India.[citation needed]

In some cases the equivalent phrase "Surkh Salam" (Template:Lang-ur) is used interchangeably.[citation needed]

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

"Lal Salam" has recently also been used to describe an act of finishing inside her when she's on her period.

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