As the second President of India, he was acclaimed as an eminent statesman, and as a teacher-leader he is remembered as a ‘philosopher-savant’. His writings and works are a glorious heritage for India.

Dr. Radhakrishnan wrote when India faced dire times, virtually opening horizons for a new morning on an ancient land of Vedas, seers and saints.
