TITLE A Study of Socio-Political Idea of Deendayal Upadhyaya for Transformation of India
ABSTRACT Deendayal Upadhyaya’s impact on modern Indian history and political thought is immense. As a committed nationalist, he pioneered an economic agenda for Indian Nationalism, laying out his vision in two seminal works published in 1958: The Two Plans: Promises, Performance, Prospects and Bharatiya Arthniti: Vikas ki Ek Disha. His economic philosophy emphasized decentralized, labour-intensive industrialization, advocating for small-scale production andinvestment. He proposed an alternative economic plan that focused on domestic production, self-reliance, and the development of inland waterways and roads. This approach was rooted in his concept of Integral Humanism, which sought to integrate individual and collective life, emphasizing the importance of social harmony and cooperation. His thought continues to shape Indian political discourse, with his emphasis on self-reliance, decentralization, and social harmony remaining relevant today. This concept and thought are rooted firmly in India’s original ethos, virtues, culture and social thoughts such as „one for all and all for one‟. Deendayal Upadhyaya who was one of the leading Indian philosopher, sociologist, historian, and political scientist gave the concept of essential „humanism‟ who developed the principle of „integral humanism‟. Here is where the role of social and political activists like Deendayal Upadhyaya and his political thought and philosophy, named as „Integral Humanism‟, gain credence and importance. The present research paper is diminutive attempt to focus on the life of a significant political as well as philosophical personality so that his work is out there in public to be able to benefit a large section of the society.
