Distinguished by originality, lucidity and analytical faculty, this book presents a critical study of the Two (First & Second Five Year) Plans. Its penetrating analysis and sound approach shed a great deal of light on conception, inception, execution, promises and performance of the Plans. Not only that, it gives a timely warning to the airy idealists, self-complacent people in power and outside, theoretical statisticians and totalitarian thinkers that it would be desirable to reconsider our whole attitude towards planning, and if we cannot take to correct policies, the future of the whole nation may be jeopardised.
Planning is a dynamic process and is based on the traditional values and fundamental postulates of a country’s life and culture. The persons responsible for planning in India seem to have been either ignorant or deliberately preferred to ignore this important consideration.
The book by eminent nationalist thinker Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay raises critical questions and vital issues concerning our socio-economic ills and evils and their patent and popular remedies imported and imbibed either from the Communist or the Capitalist countries.

PANDIT DEENDAYAL UPADHYAYA (25 September 1916-11 February 1968) was a statesman, a politician, a journalist, an organiser—who dedicated his entire life to nation building through his sheer dedication, superlative intelligence and his peerless organisational capabilities. 
Despite facing various adversities, he won several accolades in different stages of his student life. Though he was selected for the coveted provincial civil service, he chose to serve his motherland by joining the RSS. Having served as a Pracharak 
in the Sangh, he was asked to lead a new born political party, the Jana Sangh.
 Through Jana Sangh, he gave a political tinge to cultural nationalism and gave the country a political philosophy which swears by the motherland. His prolific writing during the freedom struggle and his leadership qualities during the tumultuous days of unification of India, particularly Kashmir and during the Goa Liberation movement will always be remembered.
Alas, his life was cut short by a conspiracy! But before he left his body, Panditji had given the nation an intrinsically indigenous political system that was distinct from the ones that ruled the mindset of the then rulers and kept them away from the realities of the Indian nation. He named his philosophy, the Integral Humanism, which is the essence of all the virtues of Bharat’s ethics, environment, economics and its dynamism. Jana Sangh’s present day avatar, the BJP has adopted this as its official philosophy.
