Author Anant Vijay discussed his latest book “Marxwad ka Ardhsatya” at the Kitaab book launch event organized by Prabha Khaitan Foundation from Kolkata. Vijay’s latest book is a scathing jeremiad on the double standards of Marxists about whom he says, “They never practice what they preach.”

Eminent litterateurs, scholars, book lovers, students, and journalists from across the country joined online for an engaging hour-long session with the author who was in conversation with senior journalist Bishambhar Newar. Chief Guest Bhupendra Yadav, Rajya Sabha MP, flagged off the session.

Clarifying that his book, based on 12 years of research and case studies, is not against Marxism but against the Marxists who are rank opportunists driven by selfish motives and scant consideration of the wishes of the people whose cause they claim to espouse.

The author touched upon the dubious global agenda of China, Xi Xinping, the secret lives of Mao and Fidel Castro, and so on to drive home his argument that Marxists in action are causing suffering to further their selfish ends.
