1. Swayamsevaks went to honor Doctorji Hedgewar, @RSSorg founder on Guru Purnima. He declined & advised them to honor #BhagwaDhwaj

2. Students went to honor Dr Radhakrishnan on his b& #39;day. He himself advised them to celebrate it as #TeachersDay

Character Difference!
@Prakharshri78 provides details of Radhakrishnan plagiarising parts of student Jadunath Sinha& #39;s PhD thesis in his book Indian Philosophy launching his international fame. There was a Kolkata High Court case that was settled, details not revealed to date. https://youtu.be/wJbU4Foh7YM ">https://youtu.be/wJbU4Foh7...
Radhakrishnan& #39;s own son Gopal, in "Radhakrishnan, A Biography", provides details of his father& #39;s philandering, womanizing lifestyle and a string of affairs, all while being married.

Whatever the truth of plagiarism and philandering, the fact of Radhakrishnan declaring his own birthday as #TeachersDay and the fact of his close association with Jawaharlal Nehru, resulting in awards and positions are sufficient to make him suspect.
Celebrate Dharmic #GuruPurnima . Dump sickular #TeachersDay
