TITLE : POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY OF DEENDAYAL UPADHYAYA IN THE CONTEXT OF INDIAN TRADITION AND MODERNITY : A STUDY

ABSTRACT: : Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya occupies a special place in modern Indian political thought for his effort to integrate India’s cultural heritage with the requirements of modern democratic governance. His doctrine of Ekatma Manav Darshan or Integral Humanism presents a holistic vision that rejects both Western materialism and excessive state control. The present paper examines Upadhyaya’s political philosophy through the lens of Indian tradition and modernity. It argues that his ideas create a balanced framework combining moral, spiritual, and material dimensions of development in a uniquely Indian way.It further assesses the relevance and limitations of Integral Humanism in addressing the needs of contemporary Indian society in an era of globalisation and rapid modernisation.

KEYWORDS : – Deendayal Upadhyaya, Integral Humanism, Indian Political Thought, Tradition and Modernity, Dharma, Antyodaya, Indian Philosophy, Decentralization, Swadeshi, Postcolonial India.
