About Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

1. Sarvapalli's address was first inherited in the name of Dr. Radhakrishnan. Radhakrishnan's ancestors lived in a village called 'Sarvepalli' and in the middle of the 18th century, they settled in the Tirutani village. But his ancestors wanted that his name should always be accompanied by a sense of the village of his birthplace. That is why all the families started wearing Sarvapalli before their names.

2. In 1931, he received the Templeton Prize from King George but donated the entire amount of that scholarship to Oxford University.

3. All the Members of Parliament appreciated him for his work behavior. After the end of Rajendra Prasad's term in 1962, Radhakrishnan took over as President. 

4. In the field of education, he has been awarded the very high award "Bharat Ratna".

5. H.N. Spalding, the best-known English student of the 20th century, became his best admirer when he gave his speech in England and was also inspired by his positive thoughts. That is why he also placed Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Ji in the world's largest the University of Oxford, in honor of Eastern religion and morality

6. It is claimed that when there was a heated atmosphere between the two political parties in the Parliament House or there was a debate in them. Radhakrishnan used to handle them very easily and used to talk about peace. He said that reciting verses from the Bhagavad-gita or Bible is meant to instill discipline within the crowd. Former Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru Ji used to say that Dr. Radhakrishnan always converted the parliamentary session into a family meeting
