Who was Vijay Singh?

Vijay Singh belongs to the Rajput community of Punjabi origin. Both of Atishi’s parents have been professors in Delhi University. According to reports, Tripta Wahi and Vijay Singh were inclined towards leftist ideology. For this reason, he named his daughter ‘Marlena’, which was inspired by the names of Marx and Lenin. However, Atishi later dropped ‘Marlena’ from her name.
