## Bio

Radhakrishnan held the King George V Chair of Mental and Moral Science at the University of Calcutta from 1921 to 1932, then the Spalding Chair of Eastern Religion and Ethics at Oxford from 1936 to 1952, earning a reputation as a scholar who could make Hinduism legible to the West without flattening it. He served as vice-chancellor at Andhra University from 1931 to 1936 and Banaras Hindu University from 1939 to 1948, then shifted into diplomacy as India's ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1949 to 1952. The Indian state pulled him higher: vice president from 1952 to 1962, then president from 1962 to 1967. He was knighted in 1931, received the Bharat Ratna in 1954, and was made an honorary member of the British Royal Order of Merit in 1963. He believed teachers should be the best minds in the country and co-founded HelpAge India, a nonprofit for elderly poor.
