Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya was a brilliant thinker, an outstanding organizer, and a leader who gave importance to his personal honesty and integrity throughout his life. He has been a source of ideological guidance and moral inspiration for the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay considered those who divided Indian culture on the basis of religion and sect responsible for the partition of the country. He was not only a Hindu nationalist, but at the same time, he was also a pioneer of Indian politics. Deendayal believed that Hinduism is not a religion or sect, but the national culture of India.

Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed
(13 May 1905 – 11 February 1977), was known as the fifth President of India. His election as the President is also vivid proof of India’s secular constitutional setup.

The Muslim League and its leaders also caused a lot of damage to mutual harmony due to their greed for power. But when Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, the second Muslim man became the President of India, it became clear that Indian constitutional secularism has no match in the world. He died on 11 February 1977.
