The philosophy of integral humanism is a profound philosophical framework that reinterprets the essence of ancient Indian thought, encapsulated in the concept of Vasudeva Kutumbakam (The world is one family). This paper critically examines Upadhyaya's advocacy for an indigenous development model in Bhartiya, deeply rooted in the cultural values of the country. This paper identifies the guiding principles of Integral Humanism and examines its strengths, weaknesses, and relevance in contemporary India.
