Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya was an Indian philosopher, economist, sociologist, historian, journalist, and a political scientist. He went on to define an alternative philosophy of development called Integral Humanism and lead the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the forerunner of the present day Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Pandit Deendayal’s philosophy continues to inspire and guide the policies of the BJP government at center and state.
This book attempts to present a roadmap for the re-development and re-construction of a nation as diverse and as huge as India based on the ideas and writings of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. The roadmap takes into account India’s unique history, culture and ethos. This book is also a tribute to a rishi like Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya on his 100th birth anniversary.
