Socialism is a much maligned, and little understood word. To Lohia goes the credit of giving it a distinct meaning and philosophy. From an abstract philosophy he has reduced it to easily recognisable concrete principles. Many believe Lohia to be irresponsible and cantankerous because of his uncompromising anger against tyranny and injustice. He is not only a very angry man, but one of the most human and humane persons. His philosophy of anger and love, the four-pillar state, small-machine technology and equal irrelevance, gives socialism a concreteness and universality that other philosophers in other climes have attempted, but never succeeded. Lohia's view of the world and international relations is an extension of his fundamental philosophy and principles. Those who do not wish to see beyond or behind the present state of the world laugh at his ideas, a distinction that all big men throughout the ages have acquired. But those who are still open-minded and intelligent enough to understand profound things simply put, will find this vignette of fine mind refreshing. The book Lohia and America Meet includes the Report of Lohia's visit to America in 1951 and also the press clippings of his talks, etc., when he revisited America in 1964.
