Abstract: Cultural nationalism constitutes an important dimension of Indian political thought, emphasizing the role of civilizational heritage, cultural traditions, and spiritual values in shaping national identity. Unlike purely territorial or political interpretations of nationalism, the Indian perspective views the nation as a civilizational community rooted in shared cultural experiences and moral values. Within this framework, the ideas of Deendayal Upadhyaya and Madan Mohan Malaviya occupy a significant place in twentieth-century Indian political philosophy. This paper examines the concept of Indian cultural nationalism through a comparative and analytical study of their political thought, focusing on their perspectives on nationhood, culture, education, and social harmony. While Malaviya emphasized cultural revival and the role of education in strengthening national unity, Upadhyaya articulated the philosophy of Integral Humanism, which integrates economic development with ethical and spiritual values rooted in Indian culture. The study argues that the ideas of both thinkers provide a culturally grounded understanding of nationalism and remain relevant in contemporary India, particularly in addressing questions related to national identity, cultural continuity, and social cohesion.
Keywords: Cultural Nationalism, Indian Political Thought, Deendayal Upadhyaya, Madan Mohan Malaviya, Integral Humanism, Indian Nationalism.
