SALEM: In a wedding to be solemnised at Amani Kondalampatti Kattur area on Sunday (June 13), Socialism will wed Mamta Banerjee in the presence of Communism and Leninism.
It isn’t a political prank, but the coming together of a peculiarly named couple.
The wedding invitation has drawn the attention of many on social media.
The groom is A M Socialism, son of A Mohan who belongs to a traditional CPI family, while the bride is Mamta Banerjee, daughter of K Palanisamy-P Neelambal couple from a Congress family.
Socialism has two brothers named Communism and Leninism.
“I named my sons Communism, Leninism and Socialism after many noted that communism died following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
My grandson is called Marxism,” says Mohan, district CPI secretary.
He had contested from Veerapandi assembly segment in the 2016 election on behalf of the People’s Welfare Alliance.
Communism is a practising lawyer, while his siblings run a silver anklet manufacturing unit.
While his name is certainly unique, not all attention it drew was good, says Socialism.
“Not just me, my brothers too faced a lot of humiliation because of our names during our school days.
In college, however, it attracted many and the reactions were more positive.” But Socialism is happy that his bride has a peculiar name too.
“Her parents are Congress sympathisers and named their daughter after Mamata Banerjee (now Trinamool Congress leader and West Bengal chief minister), who worked hard for the Congress more than 20 years ago.
I am happy that my bride’s name is also peculiar.” Mohan said CPI state secretary R Mutharasan would participate in the marriage function.
