The Left and the Right emerged from the French Revolution, and since then, have defined the political spectrum. While the Left has solidified to represent anything from revolutions and rebellions to strikes and bearded men, the Right has been a mass of diverse opinions. In today's times when monopolies of publishing houses, news media groups, and even academic coteries define the establishment, the question is not about labels, the Left or the Right, but about power structures. The Left, by presiding over such a monopoly, simply becomes what it was once fighting against. 

What is the relevance of the Left and the Right, as labels, in India with its political, social, and cultural diversity? What do the fence-sitting Center labels achieve? Does differentiating by Indian Right Wing or Hindu Right Wing even make any difference? I argue that it does not, because the labels, Left and Right, come with a burden of their own history and religion, and worse, lead to false equivalences and denial of our history.
