DRIVING DECOLONISATION

DEENDAYALJI PUSHED FOR DECOLONISING OUR MINDS. HE BELIEVED THAT RECLAIMING OUR PAST AND RECAPTURING THE DHARMIC VISION WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE FURTHERANCE OF OUR FUTURE, TO HELP US EMERGE AS A CONFIDENT NATION CAPABLE OF PLAYING ITS CIVILIZATIONAL ROLE

Ever since our Independence, the statesmen-like Deendayal Upadhyaya have endeavoured hard to do away with the dominance of the colonial worldview. Deendayal ji had a very clear and unambiguous vision of our civilisational antiquities, advanced ancient wisdom as well as of the discourse set by the 19th and early 20th century patriotic thinkers like Swami Vivekananda, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyaya, Dr Hedgewar and Shri Guruji. The dominance of and continuous rise of Westernised imitative intelligentsia in the country, out of political patronage of the ruling elite after after the Independence, undermined the resurgence of our national ethos, cultural values, historical heritage and thoughts. The Russian and Chinesesponsored Leftists had then been trying to give a pro-Left swing in the governance, polity and economic administration. To the contrast, Deendayal ji had a firm resolve to instil the nation with the pride of its own rich heritage and vision for embarking on a path to all-round prosperity and progress of masses.
