The Indian Journal of Political ScienceSummary: Integral humanism is a politico philosophical doctrine rooted in Bhartiya Sanskrit that was propounded by Pandit Deendayal Upadhayaya to serve as the guiding philosophy of the Bhartiya Jana Sangh. Integral Humanism, as conceptualized by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, is a politico-philosophical doctrine that emphasizes a holistic approach to human development, deeply rooted in Bharatiya Sanskriti (Indian culture and traditions). It was adopted as the guiding philosophy of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh in 1965 and later influenced the ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Upadhyaya's philosophy sought to create an indigenous development model that balanced individual and societal needs while rejecting both Western capitalist individualism and Marxist socialism. He advocated for a system that harmonized material and spiritual well-being, ensuring that economic progress did not come at the cost of ethical and cultural values.
The doctrine is built on four fundamental objectives of human life: Dharma (moral duties), Artha (wealth), Kama (desires), and Moksha (liberation), with Dharma serving as the foundation. Upadhyaya believed that a nation must develop in accordance with its unique cultural and societal ethos, integrating traditional wisdom with modern advancements.– Reproduced
