Seven decades ago, a new global order emerged. However, changing global dynamics have put those

older ways of being under unprecedented stress. A new world order is taking shape—one defined

by new agenda items alongside the traditional ones such as trade, commerce and defence.

In a post-pandemic world, these are being edged out by issues like climate change, holistic healthcare,

education for innovation and creativity, as well as the management of frontier technologies like

artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain and big data. Human dignity and human rights have

become critical issues in this modern reality. To represent these altered actualities of the twenty-first

century, global governance needs fresh ideas and novel institutions.

More than five decades ago, Deendayal Upadhyaya articulated a coherent economic philosophy, at

the core of which was human-centric development.

In The Hindutva Paradigm, author and thinker Ram Madhav provides clarifying insights into the

reasoning of a philosopher who has remained an enigma through the decades. At the crossroads

where we stand, this refreshing and stimulating philosophy could be the answer to managing the

new world order.

Ram Madhav is an Indian politician, social leader, author and thinker. Dr Madhav is the President

of India Foundation (IF), a New Delhi-based think tank. He has served as the National General

Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during 2014–20 responsible for handling the political

Dr Madhav has over 300 publications to his credit. He has authored several books in English and

Telugu which include Because India Comes First: Reflections on Nationalism, Identity and Culture

magazine amongst others. He was the editor of Bharatiya Pragna, a monthly magazine in English
