We have followed Communism right from my forefather’s period and I’m the fourth generation to do so. This particular area in Salem carries many unique (leaders and country) names like Vietnam, Czechoslovakia, Moscow, Russia, etc. The reason that I chose to name my children that weighs communism ideology is when the Soviet Union broke during the ’90s. I decided to name my children with strong communist ideology when my wife was pregnant. So I named my first child Communism. Later when Leninism was born, I was hiding from home for 15 days following a case of a false allegation. And then, we gave birth to our third child, Socialism."
