Did you know the world's two most populous nations were shaped by ideologies of Marxism-Leninism ?
Marxism-Leninism, a political philosophy that merges the ideas of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin, has had profound impacts globally, particularly on China and India, two of the globe's most densely populated territories.
In China, Mao Zedong embraced Marxism-Leninism, leading the Communist Party to a victorious revolution in 1949 and laying the groundwork for modern China as we know it.
Further south, India never fully adopted Marxism-Leninism, but the philosophy deeply influenced several of its leaders
. Among them was Jawaharlal Nehru, the country's first Prime Minister who while being a Fabian socialist, was also profoundly influenced by Marxist principles and used them to shape India's socio-economic policies.
The ideology of Marxism-Leninism continues to impact both China and India today, in their political landscapes, social structures, and economic policies, displaying the enduring influence of Marx and Lenin's thoughts.
