Deendayal Upadhyaya (25 September 1916 – 11 February 1968) was an Indian politician, a proponent of integral humanism ideology and leader of the political party Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS), the forerunner of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).[2] Upadhyaya started the monthly publication Rashtra Dharma, broadly meaning 'National Faith', in the 1940s to spread the ideals of Hindutva revival.[3] Upadhyaya is known for drafting Jan Sangh's official political doctrine, Integral humanism,[1] by including some cultural-nationalism values and his agreement with several Gandhian socialist principles such as sarvodaya (progress of all) and swadeshi (self-sufficiency).[4]
