Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was born in a Niyogifamily at a village near Thiruttani India, 84 km to the northwest of Madras (now Chennai).[4] His father's name was Sarvepalli Veeraswami[4] and his mother's name was Sitamma.[4] His early years were spent in Tiruttani and Tirupati. His father was a subordinate revenue official in the service of a local zamindar (landlord). His primary education was at Primary Board High School at Tiruttani. In 1896 he moved to the Hermansburg Evangelical Lutheral Mission School in Tirupati.[5] Radhakrishnan was awarded scholarships throughout his academic life. He joined Voorhees College in Vellore but switched to the Madras Christian College at the age of 17. He graduated from there in 1906 with a Master's degree in Philosophy, being one of its most distinguished alumni.[6] Radhakrishnan wrote his thesis for the M.A. degree on "The Ethics of the Vedanta and its Metaphysical Presuppositions".[7] He was afraid that this M.A. thesis would offend his philosophy professor, Dr. Alfred George Hogg. Instead, Hogg commended Radhakrishnan on having done most excellent work.[citation needed] Radhakrishnan's M.A. thesis was published when he was only 20. Radhakrishnan studied philosophy by chance rather than choice. Being a financially constrained student at the time, when a cousin, after graduating from the same college, passed on his textbooks in philosophy to Radhakrishnan, it automatically decided his academic course.[8][9] Later on he felt deep interest in his subject and wrote many acclaimed works on philosophy, both Eastern and Western.
