Question

Why Dr S. Radhakrishnan is known as philosopher king​

Answer 1

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, India's first vice president and second president, was born. He was the classic philosopher-king of Plato who chose to remain uninvolved-involved. A brilliant teacher and philosopher, this Bharat Ratna awardee was the most illuminating interpreter of India’s heritage, and was equally at home in Western philosophical thought. Those who glorified Indian culture without understanding it and those who denigrated it were equally wrong in his eyes. India celebrates his birthday as Teachers’ Day.
