Wealth should be equally distributed amongst all, but communism has
no system of creating wealth before it can be shared. That is why the
communist system failed completely in the Soviet Union and in all the
countries of Eastern Europe. Extreme hunger, poverty, and government
slavery plagued the common people. The experiment of communism
in China completely failed. After that a mixed model of capitalism and
dictatorship is now being implemented in that country under the name
of Chinese Communism. There, man has no right to accumulate wealth
in his own name. There is no freedom to choose the business you want.
Every individual has to do what the government tells him to do. Now
the addition of capitalism to this system has brought some prosperity to
China’s coastal region. Today, China is building its own position as the
world’s manufacturing system. But the Chinese dictatorship has not been
able to prevent massive exploitation and fraud of the workers. The result
is certain. The dream of a happy society as envisioned by Mao Tse Tung
has not come true, so it is inevitable that an internal eruption will take
place in China sooner or later. Therefore, it is not possible for a country
like India to adopt this model of development.
The culture that has prevailed in India since ancient times has already

on the subject and have provided material for economists to think about.
The model of development shown by Deendayal Upadhyay in Indian
culture is called Ekatma Manav Darshan. This philosophy is based on
spirituality. There are many facets to integrated human philosophy.
There is an aspect of it, how to get money and how to spend it. Tukaram
Maharaj says, “जोडोननया धन उत्तम र्ेव्ारे, उदास नर्चारे र्ेच करी”. That is to say,
honestly, there is no problem for every person to get as much money as
he should without cheating any other person or society. But there is no
reason to assume that you have the right to enjoy all the money you earn.
The Hindu culture holds that the wealth created belongs to the society
and we are its trustees. Therefore, everyone should consume as much
of the money as he needs and return the rest to the society in various
ways. That is, when spending money, one should think of sacrifice and
the welfare of the whole society without thinking of waste or indulgence.
Instead of thinking that I only deserve happiness, I should act like ‘Sarvepi
Sukhinah: Santu’ that is everyone deserves happiness.
Another aspect of integral humanism is the balance between the
