In
this Talk, Dr. Frawley clearly explains the intellectual roots of "The
Right" and "The Left" in India. He states that in India, the political
terminology of right and left is defined by Marxists, who like to call
anyone that opposes them right-wing or fascists. According to their view
anything traditionally Hindu would have to be right-wing on principle,
just as only their views are deemed progressive, even if supporting
Stalinist tactics. This means that in India such subjects as Yoga,
natural healing, vegetarianism and animal rights are all automatically
right-wing because they are causes of the Hindu mind, with antecedents
in ancient Indian culture. Great Hindu yogis and sages from
Shankaracharya to Sri Aurobindo are classified by modern Marxists as
right-wing, if not fascist.
However, the Indian left is mainly the Old Left, emphasizing a failed communist ideology and state economic planning such as dominated Eastern Europe in the decades following World War II and took it nowhere. It wreaked the same havoc with the economy and educational systems of India and kept the country backward. Indian communists are among the few in the world that still proudly honor Stalin and Mao (while warning of the danger of Hindu fundamentalism)!
