About the Book:
When one says that he is an Indian the matter is not one of geography but of history. What is the tradition for which an Indian stands? What are the ideals to which he adheres? If we put questions like these, we get an obvious answer... It is the great ideals of abhaya, asanga and ahimsa.
Key for Diacritical Marks
A compact study study... as profound as it is meaningful and thorough.
Not boastful, not chauvinistic, not self-righteous, but agreeable, responsible and accurate in its facts. This book deserves to take its place along with the Hindu View of Life...
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, (1888-1975) is universally recognized as modern India's greatest philosopher. He was also a statesman of distinction, and even compared to Plato's ideal of the philosopher-king.
Born in the pilgrim soil of Tirupati (now in Andhra Pradesh), he imbibed lasting impression of India's Vedic heritage during his formative years. Starting with his first teaching appointment in the Department of Philosophy at Madras Presidency College in 1909, he quickly established his reputation, and in 1921 became George V Professor of Philosophy in Calcutta University and the Spalding Professor of Eastern Religion and Ethics at Oxford University in 1936. In 1952 he accepted the office of India's first Vice President, and in 1962 assumed the office of the President of India.
