Siraj Sikder was an anti-revisionist Bengali revolutionary who formed the East Bengal Workers Movement, a militant formation of activists dedicated to the formation of an anti-revisionist communist party. The EBWM and Sikder specifically developed the thesis that East Bengal was a colony of Pakistan, and that the revolutionary path for the liberation of the East Bengali nation entailed the formation of a New Democratic republic through armed struggle. Only this, according to Sikder, would end the exploitation of the people of East Bengal by Pak colonialism, and later, the people of the newly-independent Bangladesh from Indian expansionism, Soviet social-imperialism, and US-led imperialism. To this end, he would go on to form the Proletarian Party of East Bengal and later the East Bengal United Liberation Front. After years of struggle against Pak military fascism and the local comprador and landlord puppets of foreign imperialism, Sikder would die in police custody in 1975.
