Established in 1980, it is Indias second largest political party in terms of representation in parliamentand in the various state assemblies. The Bharatiya Janata Party designates its official ideology and central philosophy to be integral humanism, [ 1 ] [ 2 ]based upon a 1965 book by Deendayal Upadhyaya. [ 10 ] [ 11 ]The party is labelled as Hindu nationalist, [ 12 ]and advocates social conservatism, self-reliance as outlined by the Swadeshi movement, [ 13 ]and a foreign policy centred on key nationalist principles. The partys platformis generally considered as the right-wingof the Indian political spectrum. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] [ 17 ] The BJP led the national government along with a coalition of parties of the NDAfrom 1998 to 2004, with Atal Bihari Vajpayeeas Prime Minister, thus making it the first non- Congressgovernment to last a full term in office. Since its election defeat in the 2004 general elections, the BJP has been the principal opposition party in parliament.
