BJP is often called Hindu Nationalist Party. Nationalist no doubt. But not so called right wing or Hindu. BJPs core ideology is Integral Humanism written by Pandit Dindayal Upadhyaya which promoted free markets. Upadhyaya conceived the political philosophy Integral Humanism – the guiding philosophy of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The philosophy of Integral Humanism advocate the simultaneous and integrated program of the body, mind and intellect and soul of each human being. His philosophy of Integral Humanism, which is a synthesis of the material and the spiritual, the individual and the collective, bears eloquent testimony to this. In the field of politics and economics, he was pragmatic and down to earth. He visualised for India a decentralised polity and self-reliant economy with the village as the base. He welcomed modern technology but wanted it to be adapted to suit Indian requirements. Deendayal believed in a constructive approach. He exhorted his followers to co-operate with the government when it was right and fearlessly oppose when it erred Deendayal Upadhyay was convinced that India as an independent nation cannot rely upon Western concepts like individualism, democracy, socialism, communism, capitalism etc. and he was of the view that the Indian polity after independence has been raised upon these superficial Western foundations and not rooted in the timeless traditions of Indias culture. He was of the view that the Indian intellect was getting suffocated by Western theories and ideologies
