Als een geleerde qua vergelijkende religie en filosofie demonstreerde hij een parallel tussen oosters en westers denken, door aan te tonen dat beiden wederzijds in elkanders termen begrijpelijk zijn. Hij introduceerde westers idealisme in de Indiase filosofie en was de eerste academicus van belang die een uitgebreide exegese van India's religieuze en filosofische literatuur in het Engels schreef. Zijn academische aanstellingen omvatten onder meer de King George V Chair of Mental and Moral Science aan de Universiteit van Calcutta (1921-?) en het Spalding Professorschap of Eastern Religions and Ethics aan Oxford University (1936-1952). Hij was de eerste vicepresident van India (1952-1962) en de tweede president van India (1962-1967). Zijn verjaardag wordt gevierd in India als "".
