Hari Prakash Sharma (1934-2010) was a sociologist and Marxist scholar, who was born at Dadri in Uttar Pradesh, India. Sharma earned his BA from Agra University in 1954, and an MA in Social Work from Delhi University in 1960. In 1963, Sharma moved to the US to further his education. He received an MS in Social Work from Case Western Reserve University in 1964 and a PhD in Rural Sociology from Cornell University in 1968. He taught briefly at the University of California, Los Angeles before accepting a position at Simon Fraser University. Sharma joined the Department of Political Science, Sociology, and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University in 1968 and taught until his retirement in 1999 when he was honoured by the university as Professor Emeritus. During 1971-72, Sharma was a founding member of and contributor to the Georgia Straight Collective, which produced a publication for radical and alternative views. In 1973, he went to Amnesty International in London and the Commission of Jurists in Geneva and made a written representation to the UN Human Rights Commission in an effort to publicize the condition of more than 30,000 political prisoners in Indian jails. In 1974, Sharma and his comrade Gautam Appa of the London School of Economics organized a petition of international scholars to protest the treatment of political prisoners in India, which he handed to the Indian Consulate in Vancouver, BC on August 15 of the same year. Sharma was a founder of the Indian People's Association in North America (IPANA) on June 25, 1975 and British Columbia Organization to Fight Racism (BCOFR). In 1989, Sharma united groups of the South Asian community to form the Komagata Maru Historical Society. The society united the community, and as a result of its activities, the government installed a commemorative plaque in Vancouver in 1989. Following the attack on the Babri Masjid mosque in December 1992, Hari Sharma became the prime mover in the formation of a North American organization dedicated to the defence of minority rights in India, also known as Non-Resident Indians for Secularism and Democracy (NRISAD). Under Sharma's leadership, NRISAD evolved into the South Asian Network for Secularism and Democracy (SANSAD) in 2000. It pursued the same quest as its predecessors for peace and democracy based secularism, human rights, and social justice. In September 1999, Sharma travelled to Montréal to join the founding of the International South Asia Forum (INSAF), a coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to the promotion of peace and social justice in South Asia. He became its first President and organized the Second Conference in Vancouver in August 2001. In addition to his academic work and political activism, Hari Sharma was an accomplished literary writer and self-taught photographer.
