The same artha shastra which says the King must distribute food/ relief from his royal store during a drought is very capitalistic and libertarian in other parts. So, was

Kautilya a rightist or leftist? Gandhi who’s the claimed by the left liberals was a staunch hindu who supported cow protection- was he right or left? Modi who’s the so called ‘right wing hindu nationalist’ has more welfare schemes than any administration. Is he right or left?

Denounce this binary western lens and follow the ideas propagated by our vedic culture. Dharma is both right and left, libertarian and statist, conservative and liberal. It is the only worldview that encompasses all possible permutations of ideas that make up our consciousness.
