Because of centralization of production of heavy industries and domination of mechanization on demand and supply, heavy industries assume dictatorial tendencies and become inhuman Upadhyay was against heavy industries.
He considered heavy industries to be of dictatorial tendency and inhuman because of the following reasons :
1. It destroys the harmony and uniformity of Indian society.
2. It does not complement the independent producer- craftsman, but opposes entrepreneurship.
3. It is against the target of ‘work for all’ and promotes technological unemployment.
4. Heavy industries are capital intensive which is beyond the capacity of Indian producers.
5. Their import dependence is much more which heavily burdens our balance of payments status.
6. A very heavy social cost has to be borne for them. The acute problems of health, housing, water supply, etc. arise because of urbanization.
7. Their production and management systems are very complex.
8. Exploitative and middlemen systems are born between agriculture and industries.
9. Since these are concentrated at one location, extensive and pan-national development is obstructed.
10.The lobby of large industries becomes so powerful that it begins to control the politics of the country.
11.Heavy industries create inequality in society and cause situations of classconflict to arise. Apart from all this, a dangerous aspect of heavy industries is that big industrialists strike a friendship with foreign capital investors. Upadhyay’s view is that our country should not be industrialized on the strength of foreign capital.
