Teachers Day
Paying Tribute to our beloved Teachers
Teachers day in India
is celebrated in the memory of the best teacher
in the country Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
(5 September 1888 - 17 April 1975).
Radhakrishnan was one of India's most acclaimed scholars
of comparative religion and philosophy.
He is considered through his efforts to have built a
bridge between East and West by having shown the
philosophical systems of each tradition to be
comprehensible within the terms of the other.
He wrote authoritative exegeses of India's religious and
philosophical literature for the English speaking world.
His academic appointments included the
King George V Chair of Mental and Moral Science at
the University of Calcutta and
Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and
Ethics
at Oxford University (1936-1952).
He was the first Vice President of India (1952-1962),
and the second President of India (1962-1967).
Among the many honours he received were a
British knighthood (1931) and the Bharat Ratna (1954).
