About the Book

This book critically examines the political parlance in India, focusing on the terms "Leftist" and "Rightist" and their usage in the country’s political discourse. The author highlights how these labels have been appropriated by political groups without any impartial authority to define them. It explores how the Leftists present themselves as progressive, revolutionary, socialist, secular, and democratic, while accusing the Rightists of being reactionary and fascist.

A deeper look reveals the philosophical underpinnings of these political divisions, with the Leftists claiming to have a scientific interpretation of world processes, contrasting this with the Rightists’ more traditional views. The author challenges the claim that the language of Leftism originated during India's struggle for independence, suggesting instead that it was imported from the Soviet Union.

The book argues that the Leftist language, with its affinity to earlier imperialist ideologies, has had a significant impact on India's politics, particularly in fostering character assassination and creating a platform for questionable figures to rise to power. The author advocates for replacing the current political language with the language of Indian Nationalism, which has a long-standing tradition in the country, rooted in texts like the Vedas, Mahabharata, and Puranas. This language, according to the book, has the power to unite the nation and reject foreign ideologies like Islamic, Christian, and Communist imperialism.
