In India, if anybody is against Indian culture, then it has to be the left brigade and the reason is simple that left ideology believes in equality by birth and Indian ideology believes in destiny and Karma. You see communists supporting anyone including naxals, terrorists just to oppose the idea of great India and see them polluting the universities across India with anti India sentiments.
This is happening because of sheer ignorance on essence of Indian culture. Lets understand this by doing a deep dive into the basic characteristics of Indian culture, which is deeply into a spiritual way of living, we understand that Indian sage and the saints, who are the creators of our privileged cultural values, were probably believed in equality for everyone way before the arrival of communism.
When a child is born, he /she are born with a characteristic called want. From the very entry child starts crying and it’s believed that crying is for want of milk. So the “want saga” in our lives starts from our very beginning and then as a child, you want toys, you want X, Y so on and so forth. This continues in your teen age, old age and ultimately you want a peaceful death.
So we human beings are completely under the influence of wants and what happens when our wants are not fulfilled, we just go crazy, we become desperate, soon turns into violence, etc. Against this if our wants are fulfilled, we are happy and content till next want arrives.
In India, our sages and saints, who might be communists in their thought process, would have had the realization that every human being is born with a characteristic of want and it is our ability to convince others what matters in fulfilling our wants.
Most successful people around us are the ones who convinces others the best, even amongst children we see few getting whatever they want from their parents or others compare to their peers, again what is at work here is a better convincing ability. Now every child is born with different levels of convincing ability and our sages and saints with a leftist view would have thought to address this issue of inequality at birth and have figured out spirituality as a tool to improve one’s convincing skills.
Now in India, spirituality starts with prayers, visiting temples and then going deep with meditation and other methods. But ultimately, as a person starts improving his convincing ability say like from 1 to 10, he /she reaches a position where he/she is able to convince himself/herself that want is the characteristic that is the root cause for all our troubles in life and if we can liberate ourselves from this want, then we will be happy for ever and we can reach a stage where we will be happy and content for ever.
According our culture, we believe a person who is liberated from the want cycle attains Moksha or get freed from rebirth forever. If we fail to liberate ourselves then we will have to come back again and go through the process of life all over again and again.
Hence our saints and sages wanted everyone to practice spirituality and improve convincing ability and reach the final stage of Moksha and in the process ensure equality amongst all.
Unfortunately, the selfish souls amongst our earlier generations kept vast majority away from spirituality in the name caste and community and thus deprived people from equality.
If the left Brigade in India understands the basic essence of our Indian culture, they will never go behind the preachers of violent struggles in foreign lands for inspiration, rather they will start worshipping Indian legends and exhort everyone to take up spirituality and improve their convincing skills and realize their goal of equality by birth at least in true sense in India.
Wish all lefts will turn right and will ensure equality, which is their ultimate goal.
