• Deendayal Upadhyaya created the integral humanism theory, which the Jana Sangh embraced as its official dogma in 1965.
• It serves as the Bharatiya Janata Party's official guiding principle.
• It presents an indigenous economic model that prioritises the human being in order to appeal to large segments of Indian culture.
• He opposed communism since it "crushed" individualism by incorporating it into a "big merciless machine."
• According to Upadhyaya, society was fully born as a natural living organism with a clear "national soul" or "ethos" at its birth, as opposed to emerging from a social compact between people.
• The demands of the social organism paralleled those of the individual.

Additional Information

• According to Upadhyaya, humanity has four attributes—body, mind, intellect, and soul—that are hierarchically ordered and correspond to four universal goals.

1. moksha (complete emancipation or "salvation"),
2. kama (desire or fulfilment),
3. artha (wealth),
4. dharma (moral obligations).

Hence, the correct option is 2.
