Deendayal Upadhyaya's Integral Humanism and Its Influence on BJP Governance
Deendayal Upadhyaya's philosophy of 'Integral Humanism,' introduced in 1965, has influenced the Bharatiya Janata Party's ideology and governance. It emphasizes swadeshi (self-reliance), antyodaya (upliftment of the last person), and decentralization. The BJP government has incorporated aspects of this philosophy in various welfare schemes and initiatives. However, some critics highlight tensions over centralization of power and question aspects of the ideology, including its social implications and comparisons to Mahatma Gandhi.
