Vice President CP Radhakrishnan with Congress MP Shashi Tharoor (Image/X) NEW DELHI: Vice President CP Radhakrishnan on Thursday lamented that contributions of Indian philosophers and social reformers like Sree Narayana Guru have not been adequately recorded in international languages, which has created a gap in global academic discourse.Releasing a book on Narayana Guru by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, Radhakrishnan said “The sage who reimagined Hinduism” will take India’s heritage to a global audience.The VP said that the book is special because it was first released in Sivagiri Mutt, the hermitage founded by the Guru. He said a visit to the Mutt provides the inspiration to treat everyone with equality and dignity.Radhakrishnan said that the Guru emerged as a spiritual guide at a time when caste divisions and social discrimination were deeply entrenched in society. He noted the Guru’s immortal message “One Caste, One Religion, One God for humankind” was not only a spiritual proclamation but also a revolutionary call for equality, dignity and universal brotherhood.Tharoor said it is unfortunate that while Guru’s message has a universal resonance, he is hardly known outside Kerala. Talking about Kerala of the 19th century, he said that caste prejudices were so deep in the state that Swami Vivekananda had called it a “lunatic asylum”. He said Guru took up social reform in such a bad situation and shook up society to the point that Kerala is now the most progressive state in the country.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos“Nothing Like Money”: Donald Trump Says 200% Tariff Warning Stopped India-Pak FightRishi Sunak Highlights India’s Rise As Global AI Powerhouse At Impact Summit’Don’t See How People Criticise!’ French President Emmanuel Macron Defends India-France Rafale DealFrom India To Bharat: PM Modi’s Nameplate Grabs Eyes, Draws Global Attention At AI Impact Summit’Challenges At Sea More Complex, Interconnected’, Says Rajnath Singh At MILAN 2026 Naval ExerciseRussia Affirms India Still Buys Russian Oil, Rejects Recent US Statements’India Well Positioned To Lead The World In AI’: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman At AI Impact SummitAI Rivals Altman, Amodei Snub Each Other, Turns India AI Impact Summit Photo Op With PM Modi AwkwardPakistan Faces Mockery On Social Media As PM Shehbaz Sharif’s US Trip Statement Carries Glaring TypoPM Modi Pushes Human Centric AI Model, Launches MANAV Framework At Mega AI Impact Summit 2026123PhotostoriesWhat’s it like to visit Jhalana Leopard Safari Park in Rajasthan?Top 5 shows to watch on OTT before ‘House of the Dragon Season 3’ arrives7 New High-Speed Rail Corridors!
