| | Prayatna: President Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan |
 | | Radhakrishnan, Sir Sarvepalli (1888-1975), philosopher and president of India, was born on 5 September 1888, in the pilgrimage centre village of Tiruttani, in the then undivided presidency of Madras. |
 | | He was the second son of middle-class but poor parents, Sarvepalli Veeraswami, a tahsildar, a minor revenue official, and his wife, Sitamma. |
 | | While the author is free to speculate on what might have happened and how it affected the man and those around him, I don't know if the author has based his speculation on evidence (circumstantial or otherwise) or not. |
