POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY OF ROY
· There were three phases of his thinking which evolution of his political thought
o Militant Nationalism Phase
o Marxist Phase
o Humanism Phase

NEW HUMANISM OF ROY
New Humanism, as presented in the Twenty-Two Theses, has both a critical and a constructive aspect.
The critical aspect consists of describing the inadequacies of communism (including the economic interpretation of history), and of formal parliamentary democracy.
The constructive aspect, on the other hand, consists of giving highest value to the freedom of individual, presenting a humanist interpretation of history, and outlining a picture of radical or organized democracy along with the way for achieving the ideal of radical democracy.

IDEAS OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE
According to Roy, the central idea of the Twenty-Two Theses is that political philosophy must start from the basic idea that the individual is prior to society, and freedom can be enjoyed only by individuals.
Quest for freedom and search for truth, according to Roy, constitute the basic urge of human progress. The purpose of all-rational human endeavor, individual as well as collective, is attainment of freedom in ever-increasing measure. The amount of freedom available to the individuals is the measure of social progress.

CRITIQUE TO MARXISM
The Marxian doctrine of state, according to which the state is an instrument of exploitation of one class by another, is clearly rejected by Roy.
According to Roy, the state is “the political organization of society” and “its withering away under communism is a utopia which has been exploded by experience”.
RADICAL DEMOCRACY
Roy’s ideal of radical democracy, consists of a highly decentralized democracy based on a network of people’s committee’s through which citizens wield a standing democratic control over the state.
He has not ignored the economic aspect of his ideal of radical democracy. He argued that progressive satisfaction of the material necessities is the pre-condition for the individual members of society unfolding their intellectual and other finer human potentialities.
