In this commentary, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev examines why both the political left and the political right can become exclusionary. The central argument is that public life often gets trapped in rigid ideological camps, where belonging to one side means rejecting the other rather than addressing the broader needs of society.
The piece links the current rise of right-wing movements in many parts of the world to a backlash against what some see as the excesses of the left in earlier decades. In that reading, politics does not move steadily forward but swings from one pole to the other, with each side gaining strength when the other is seen to have gone too far.
Sadhguru's broader point is that this left-versus-right pattern can narrow social thinking. When politics is framed mainly through competing identities and fixed positions, it can leave less room for inclusion, balance and practical solutions. That makes exclusion a feature of both sides, not just one.
The article presents the left-right divide as a recurring cycle rather than a lasting answer to social problems. Its focus is less on party competition and more on how ideological extremes can shape public culture in divisive ways.
