KEY POINTS

·        Integral humanism was coined by great national leader Pandit Deendhayal Upadhyaya.

·        The core principle of humanism emphasized that unifying principle of every object in the universe, and of which humankind was a part. This, claimed Upadhyaya, was the essence and contribution of Indian culture.

·        Nationalism as a concept arrived relatively recently with the origin of “nation-states” in 17th-18th century Europe.

·        The idea of oneness amongst people of all races, caste, creeds, geographies and gender is fundamental to the interpretation of integral frameworks in the international context.

·        Perfectly compliant with the modern notions of democracy and the UN, the integral doctrine is perhaps the oldest framework for human rights.

·        It accords equal rights to all by virtue of the intrinsic unity in life forms. This template is not only democratic but goes a step further in promoting the case for social justice and equal opportunity for even the last man standing.

·        In this worldview, identifying with both one’s nation and the rest of the humanity becomes the basis of peaceful co- existence. Most importantly, this idea of collectivity is not antagonistic to “nation first” thinking.

·        In the light of the Sustainable Development Goals, it is noteworthy to see how Integral Ecology takes us back to the age-old wisdom of interdependence with nature. Rejecting the difference between human, animal and plant forms, an integral framework treats the environment as a global good, making environmental protection the shared responsibility all of humanity.

·        the entire world is my family, reiterates the Advaita thought on how each one of us across the globe are intrinsically connected both in our challenges and opportunities.

·        The principles of Integral Humanism offer a non-dualistic prism for perceiving the world we live and acting upon the fundamental unity of humankind — an outlook which offers powerful solutions for political, social and economic cooperation across the world.
