Names associated with the international communist movement continue to be popular in southern India.

Marx, Lenin and Ho Chi Minh gathered over the weekend in southern India to witness the marriage of their friend Engels.

At the same time, there were no Germans, Russians or Vietnamese there. Just for a wedding in one of the tourist places in Kerala, members of the local organization of the Communist Party came.
