Schemes like ‘Illam Thedi Kalvi’ inspired by Russian leader Lenin, says former Chief Secretary V. Irai Anbu

Schemes like ‘Illam Thedi Kalvi,’ were inspired by Russian revolutionary leader Lenin’s initiative to educate women in their houses, said former Chief Secretary V. Irai Anbu. To escape prosecution and avoid getting identified by the rulers, Lenin, throughout his life had written in about 153 different pen names, Mr. Irai Anbu added. “The younger generation, who loses hope even for trivial reasons, should read Lenin and his works to learn how he had spent 54 years of his life for the welfare of others,” Mr. Irai Anbu added. Communist Party of India State secretary R. Mutharasan said, “Lenin, who proclaimed to make education available for all sections of people, that too in their own language, was one of the appropriate leaders for Tamil Nadu.” “Lenin, who is popularly known for its Communist ideology, is usually associated with Communist parties, but he is a leader who should be read and celebrated for his intelligence and his work towards achieving a just society,” he added.
