Self-Reliant India and Integral Humanism: An Ideological Framework of Deendayal Upadhyaya

Author(s) Dr. Ramesh . Kamble
Country India
Abstract This paper examines the philosophical and ideological relationship between Integral Humanism, as promoted by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, and Atmanirbhar Bharat’s contemporary policy vision. Integral Humanism is a conceptual approach to human development that integrates material, moral, and spiritual aspects, rejecting the extremes of Western capitalism and Marxist socialism. This study explores how this ideology enables India to pursue economic and social self-reliance in the 21st century. The paper uses qualitative and analytical methods to explore the conceptual patterns of Upadhyaya’s thought, government policy, and literature, tracing its conceptual shifts in the context of the Atmanirbhar Bharat project. It also compares the practical relevance of Integral Humanism in determining human-centric, culturally grounded, and sustainable models of development with actual reality. They show that swadeshi, antyodaya, and gram swaraj share obvious similarities, but also reveal gaps between the ideals of philosophy and modern policy practice. The paper concludes that a truly self-reliant India will have to integrate technological progress and global engagement with the moral, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of human welfare that Upadhyaya's Integral Humanism envisioned.
