Engels and Lenin are getting married in Engels in southern Kerala, India Art and Culture News

Marx, Lenin and Ho Chi Minh see their friend Engels in the state of Kerala, where the Communist Party has a great reputation.

Marx, Lenin and Ho Chi Minh met in southern India over the weekend to see their friend Engels get married.

But there were no Germans, Russians or Vietnamese in sight, as members of the local Communist Party in the state of Kerala went to the wedding at a tourist boutique destination.

The symbol of the hammer and sickle is in vogue throughout Kerala, where the Communist Party has ruled for much of the last six decades, with revolutionary names like Stalin and Trotsky known.

Engels and Lenin are brothers, while Marx and Ho Chi Minh are the sons of a local party activist, according to the Mathrubhumi newspaper.

The four men are active members of the Communist Party, the report says, but Marx flew from the hypercapitalist city of the Gulf of Dubai to attend his wedding in Athirappilly.

India further bowed to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and Russian nicknames Pravda – the name of the USSR state newspaper – are also unknown, especially in the south.

The current prime minister of the state of Tamil Nadu is Stalin MK, who was named in honor of the Soviet dictator a few days before his father died in Russia.

At a wedding in that state in June, socialism was married to the brothers of communism, Leninism and Marxism.

His bride was P Mamata Banerjee, whom his grandfather had named for a left-wing West Bengal fire politician who, ironically, ended up in 2011 with communist rule in the state.
