M I a Leftist or a Rightist ????????


"Leftists are Leftists and Rightists are Rightists and never, it seems, the twain shall meet. " I dont know why people say that.

Im always in a dilemma whether Im a leftist or a rightist, I can never take a stand. In some cases Im a leftist and in some a rightist. I have changed and im also conservative. No im not throwing words which i have read here and there, there is a meaning to whatever im saying.

Why does this (the dilemma) happen?? i have been born and brought up in a metropolitan city Mumbai. In this city there are different people, with different thoughts but there is a society and some set norms. My education is in english through a english education system. People say that the way i think is left yes my education is such but my surroundings have the rightist thought in them so i even have a rightist in me.

India has always been a churning pot where many cultures have met and mixed with each other. I think such is also the situation of the political view points of a leftist and a rightist. Im a Rightist and also a Leftist, Im an amalgamation of both. I dont say i have both the political view points and so my take on this is the middle path, ummm no i keep on svaying on both the sides on both the extemities to balance myself out. Yes that is what Im and what I consider to be my true identity.
