Author Info
Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya was the most significant ideologue of the contemporary Hindutva movement. His writings and speeches on the principles and policies of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, his philosophy of ‘Integral Humanism’ and his vision for the rise of modern India, constitute the most comprehensive articulation of what might be described as a BJP ideology. His philosophy of integral humanism aims at elucidating the basic and all pervasive principle of total existence, purely dedicated to national re-construction. When we make a study with the prism of modern concepts like democracy and communism, Integral Humanism is path breaking in intellectual and moral application of political thought. Deendayal learned and absorbed his ideas, principles and concepts through his active participation in the country‘s socio-political churning throughout his life.
