Philosopher of Raisina is a scholarly and commemorative volume dedicated to the life and legacy of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan—distinguished philosopher, statesman, and former President of India. Known for harmonizing Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, Radhakrishnan’s intellectual depth profoundly shaped India’s educational, political, and constitutional discourse.
Edited by Lokendra Malik and Ms. Shabeena Anjum, with a foreword by Salman Khurshid, the book brings together insightful essays that examine Radhakrishnan’s contributions to philosophy, democracy, secularism, and constitutional governance. The title “Raisina” symbolically references Raisina Hill, the seat of the Indian Presidency, underscoring his stature as a philosopher-statesman who elevated public office with moral and intellectual authority.
The volume explores his views on education, ethics, freedom of thought, and the role of leadership in nurturing democratic values. It situates his presidency within the broader narrative of India’s post-independence constitutional journey and highlights his influence on India’s intellectual identity.
Published by Eastern Book Company, this book is an essential resource for scholars of political philosophy, constitutional studies, modern Indian history, and public leadership. It stands as a tribute to a visionary leader whose ideas continue to inspire constitutional morality and democratic ideals in contemporary India.
