Everything about Murli Manohar Joshi totally explained
Murli Manohar Joshi was the Union
Human Resources Development minister of
India in the
NDA government. Joshi is a leading member of the
BJP.
He was born in
Delhi on January 5 1934, hailing from the Kumaon Hills region of northern India which today form a part of the state of
Uttarakhand. Mr. Joshi had his early education in Chandpur, District Bijnore and Almora (currently part of Uttarakhand). He completed his B.Sc. from Meerut College and M.Sc. from
Allahabad University. Here one of his teachers was
Professor Rajendra Singh, who later became
RSS Sarsanghchalaks. He did his doctorate from Allahabad University. The subject of his doctoral thesis was
Spectroscopy. He was the first scientist to submit his thesis in
Hindi.
After completing his PhD, Dr. Joshi started teaching Physics at Allahabad University. He came in contact with the RSS in Delhi at a young age and took part in the Cow Protection Movement in 1953-54, in the Kumbh Kisan Andolan of UP in 1955, demanding halving of land revenue assessment. During the Emergency period (1975-1977) in India, Dr. Joshi was in jail from June 26, 1975 until the
Lok Sabha elections in 1977. He was elected Member of Parliament from
Almora. When the
Janata Party (which then included his party) came to power forming the first non-Congress government in Indian history, Dr. Joshi was elected General Secretary of the Janata Parliamentary Party. After the fall of the government, his party came out of Janata Party in 1980, and formed the
Bharatiya Janata Party or the BJP. Dr. Joshi first looked after the Central Office as a General Secretary and later became Party Treasurer. As General Secretary of BJP, he was directly in charge of Bihar, Bengal and North-Eastern States. Later, when BJP formed a government in India under the Prime-ministership of
Atal Behari Vajpayee, Dr. Joshi would serve as the Human Resource Development Minister in the cabinet. Among other things, he slashed the fees at IIMs (
Indian Institute of Management) by almost 80%. Critics felt that his policies regarding the IIMs, well-known for providing world-class management education comparable to Harvard or Sloan in India, were an unnecessary meddling in the affairs of the IIMs.
Dr. Joshi has been deeply influenced by the life and work of
Veer Savarkar,
Shri Guruji and
Deendayal Upadhyaya. He has made a special study of Integral Humanism and
Pauranic characters.
Joshi was defeated from the seat he'd held all along; namely Allahabad, in the Lok Sabha elections of May, 2004.
