Pandit Upadhyaya's "life and contribution can be a source of inspiration for the present generation".

Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya was an Indian philosopher, economist, sociologist,

historian, journalist, and political activist. He was an ideologue and a guiding force for an
alternative model of governance and politics. He encouraged young men and women to
live a life of struggle and sacrifice in service of the nation
Deendayal Upadhyaya wanted to raise and grow India on the basis of its rich culture and
not western concepts left by the ritish at the time of their departure from the nation.
Deendayal ji!s "antra of Integral Humanism # a concept which is deeply embedded in
Indian Psyche and his message of serving the very last person in the $ueue continues to
inspire us. %he philosophy of Integral Humanism advocates the simultaneous and
integrated programming of the body, mind, intellect and soul of every human being. His
philosophy of Integral Humanism, is a synthesis of the material and the spiritual & the
individual and the collective. He visuali'ed for India a decentrali'ed polity and self(reliant
economy with the village as the base. Human)ind, according to Upadhyaya, had four
hierarchically organi'ed attributes of body, mind, intellect and soul which corresponded to
four universal objectives, )ama *desire or satisfaction+, artha *wealth+, dharma *moral
duties+ and mo)sha *total liberation or !salvation!+. ,hile none could be ignored, dharma is
the !basic!, and mo)sha the !ultimate! objective of human)ind and society. He claimed that
the problem with both capitalist and socialist ideologies is that they only consider the
needs of body and mind, and were hence based on the materialist objectives of desire and
wealth. Upadhyaya rejected social systems in which individualism !reigned supreme!. He
also rejected communism in which individualism was !crushed! as part of a !large heartless
machine!. -ociety, according to Upadhyaya, rather than arising from a social contract
between individuals, was fully born at its inception itself as a natural living organism with
a definitive !national soul! or !ethos! and its needs of the social organism paralleled those of
the individual.

It is the responsibility of society to arrange for the up)eep of every child
that is born, and to provide him with education which would enable him to develop his
individuality even as he contributes to the well(being of society as a responsible member.
It is the responsibility of society again to assure every able(bodied person employment and
ade$uate leisure and every person a living. 1very civilised society fulfils these obligations
in some form or the other. In fact, these have become the main criteria of progress.
%herefore, right to a minimum living standard, education, employment and social security
and welfare will have to be accepted as fundamental rights.
