On the occasion of the 155th birth anniversary of Lenin, the great teacher of the world proletariat, join us for a talk and discussion on “The Relevance of Lenin in the 21st Century” on Tuesday, 22 April, 2025 at 7pm at Lamakaan, Banjara Hills.

More than a century after the world’s first proletarian revolution and the formation of the socialist state of Soviet Union, what relevance does Lenin, the leader of that revolution, hold for us? Today, when the forces of reaction are dominant across the world, it is the task of progressive forces to seriously review the challenges, rectify the mistakes, and rebuild the revolutionary movement. Lenin’s struggles against such forces of reaction of his time led to his epochal and far-reaching contributions to the theory of Marxism. He qualitatively added to Marxist philosophy, political economy, theory of State and Party, and answered the burning questions of his time such as the National Question, the Agrarian Question, the relationship between art and ideology. Join us as we revisit these contributions of Lenin’s, and understand how to resolve the challenges that lay before us today.
