Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (5 September 1888 – 17 April 1975) was an Indian philosopher and statesman who was the first Vice President of India (1952–1962) and the second President of India from 1962 to 1967.〔(Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan: The Philosopher President, Press Information Bureau, Government of India )〕
One of India's most distinguished twentieth-century scholars of comparative religion and philosophy,〔(Sheldon Pollock (2011), ''Crisis in the Classics'', Social Research Vol. 78 : No.1 : Spring 2011 )〕〔 his academic appointments included the King George V Chair of Mental and Moral Science at the University of Calcutta (1921–1932) and Spalding Professor of Eastern Religion and Ethics at University of Oxford (1936–1952).
His philosophy was grounded in Advaita Vedanta, reinterpreting this tradition for a contemporary understanding.〔 He defended Hinduism against "uninformed Western criticism", contributing to the formation of contemporary Hindu identity. He has been influential in shaping the understanding of Hinduism, in both India and the west, and earned a reputation as a bridge-builder between India and the West.〔(Hawley, ''Radhakrishnan'', IEP bio )〕
Radhakrishnan was awarded several high awards during his life, including a knighthood in 1931, the Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award in India, in 1954, and honorary membership of the British Royal Order of Merit in 1963. Radhakrishnan believed that "teachers should be the best minds in the country". Since 1962, his birthday is celebrated in India as Teachers' Day on 5 September.〔
