Ideologies and Ideals: A Historical Perspective

Hosted by the scribe hmself- a media activist turned a vocal spokesperson of consitutionalism and human rightts- the episode set recounded the many killings caused by materislistic, Marxist view of human history.

A staggering number of people killed in the 20th centuty was some 17 crores, out of which some 11 crores were killed by communist dictatorships! This alone should be enough to warn us about the danger posed by the left today.
