Task:

At this critical time, when the clichés and dogmas in the name of secularism, socialism, communism, capitalism, regionalism and com- munalism, lie in tatters in the face of the violence that has overtaken our society, it is time to take a fresh look at the philosophy of Inte- gral Humanism propounded by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. His thesis on Integral Humanism, given in a series of speeches in Bombay from 22rd to 25th April, 1965, form the basis of a system of gover-nance that is suited to the Indian nation and its people, regardless of caste, religion or region, as an alternative for all round human devel- opment.

Our Direction
I am asked to present my thoughts on the subject of “Integral Humanism” in a series of talks beginning this evening. Last January at Vijayawada, the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, adopted the statement of “Principles and Policies” in which the term ‘Integral Humanism’ was also accepted. There have been scattered discussions here and there on the subject. It is necessary that we consider Integral Humanism in all its aspects. So long as the country was under the yoke of the British rule, all the movements and policies in the country had one principal aim, ‘to drive out the foreign rulers and to achieve independence’. But what would be the face of the new Bharat after independence? In which direction were we to advance? These questions were not precisely thought out. It would not be correct to say that no thought was devoted to these aspects. There were people who even at that time had considered these questions. Gandhiji himself had set out his idea of the independent Bharat in his book ‘Hind Swaraj’. Prior to this, Lokmanya Tilak discussed the philosophical basis of the rejuvenation of Bharat in his book ‘Gita Rahasya’. He gave a comparative exposition of various schools of thought current all over the world at that time.
