Let us face it. Deendayal and his philosophy are still not familiar to the Indian masses as compared to Gandhi, Nehru or even Dr Ambedkar. But in political tears, Deendayal holds more sway than any other leader in the present government. Integral Humanism, he propounded is the Das Capital of the BJP dispensation. Within the BJP there were many towering personalities like Dr Syama Prasad Mukherjee, Dr Raghuvira, A B Vajpayee and many others who are held in very high esteem but no leader is revered as much as Deendayal. This is perhaps Deendayal lived a very simple, exemplary life and because he propounded an alternative economic model and a political philosophy which form the bedrock of the BJP ideological mosaic. It is different from all other isms, it is intrinsically Indian and its approach is totally opposed to the concentration of wealth and power. It is very liberal, believes in decentralization of power and wealth, man is at its centre and in many ways very akin to Gandhian Gram Swaraj concept. It is very opposite of Capitalism, Communism, Nehruvianism and even M N Roy’s Radical Humanism. It is very close to Guruji Golwalkar’s thoughts as he expressed them in Bunch of Thoughts and Collected Works of Shri Guruji. In fact, Deendayal’s political approach is the theoretical exposition of Guruji’s agenda for the nation. This perhaps is the reason for the wide acceptance Deendayal enjoys in the Sangh ideological family. It is well known that at every state of the formulation of Integral Humanism, Deendayal consulted Guruji Golwalkar. It was finally approved by the then Jan Sangh as its political philosophy after it was fully endorsed by the then RSS chief. Deendayal, it is said would have become RSS chief had he not been given to the BJS work. But throughout his life Deendayal lived an ideal swayamsevek, the life of an ascetic.
