Model of development
– Swadeshi
Development Model based in Dharma.
The journey from Vyashti to Parameshti. Vyakti – The individual , Parivar – The Family, Samaj –
The community / village. Rashtra – The nation, Vishwa – The universe, Srishti – All existence,
Parameshti – The supreme being.
As political democracy grants every individual the right to vote, economic democracy will grant
every individual the right to a livlihood. - Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya.

assert that every nation has its own individual culture and economics must fit the national culture.
Modernity does not mean westernization. Modernization must come with sensitivity to the national
culture. The swadeshi idea opposes the subjugation and destruction of native cultures in the service
of the dominating western economic power.
Along with western technology and economy there is a cultural invasion that is hostile and
destructive to the several native cultures of the world. This is the basic reason why the native
cultures of the world oppose western economic and cultural models. - Rashtra Rishi Dattopant
Thengde.

Decentralization and Swadeshi, these two words are enough to correct the faults in the Indian
economy.

The Videshi must become relevant to the swadeshi and the swadeshi must be relevant to the age.
