"Struggle to overcome oppression in India" is a political poster designed by The Poster Collective in 1976. Created in the United Kingdom, the work was produced as a screenprint using ink on paper in a black-and-white palette.
The visual composition features a high-contrast photographic rendering of a protest in India. In the foreground, several individuals are depicted from the chest up, while in the background a long queue of demonstrators snakes into the distance along an elevated ridge. The poster incorporates printed titles and text outlining a list of three distinct political demands. These include the release of all political prisoners, the establishment of true freedom of speech, assembly, publication, and the right to strike, and genuine independence from the interference of all foreign powers, specifically highlighting the two superpowers.
