Marx, Lenin and Ho Chi Minh arrived at Engels' wedding in India

Marx, Engels, Lenin and Ho Chi Minh met at a wedding in the Indian state of Kerala

Marx, Lenin and Ho Chi Minh gathered in weekend in Kerala state in southern India to watch Engels' wedding ceremony. The Guardian writes about this with reference to local media.

The groom and guests are members of the local communist party. At the same time, Engels and Lenin are brothers, and Marx and Ho Chi Minh are the sons of a local party activist. The bride's name remains unknown.

In Kerala, where the Communist Party has ruled for much of the past six decades, revolutionary names such as Stalin and Trotsky are still popular. Also, according to the publication, in the state you can find people with the name Pravda in honor of the Soviet newspaper.

In 2017, a marine engineer from India Saddam Hussein, the namesake of the executed Iraqi President, changed his name due to the fact that he were refused employment more than 40 times. According to him, he did not understand the reason for the refusals until representatives of the shipping companies, where the man was interviewed, explained to him that the problem was his name. According to employers, it could arouse suspicion among airport employees and thus complicate the work associated with frequent trips abroad.
