Abstract

This study examines ideological difference between left wing and right wing political ideologies in India. Our research contains historical development, core Principles and how ideologies work in Indian politics. The Research methodology we use here is secondary study which is on existing scholarly literature, historical records, and case studies for the conclusion. The key findings from this research are that right-wing ideology is associated with Hindu nationalism, market- oriented economic policies and a strong government and the left-wing ideology is associated with secularism, social justice and state intervention in economic matters. This case study explores the differences between these ideologies, focusing on their historical developments, theoretical underpinnings, and implications for modern-day India.
