I do NOT think any other Indian leader got such a recognition for his services like Mr. VK Krishna Menon. For example please read
Blue plaque for Krishna Menon's London home, HASAN SUROOR LONDON, July 16, 2013
In a rare gesture, the British government has decided to commemorate V.K. Krishna Menon's long and eventful association with London by putting up an English Heritage blue plaque at the house where he lived when he first moved to the city. The plaque at #30, Langdon Park Road in Highgate, north London, where he lived from 1929 to 1931, will be unveiled on Wednesday by Left-Wing Labour veteran Tony Benn who knew Menon personally. Howard Spencer of the 150-year-old Blue Plaques scheme described Menon as "a formidable man — determined in his beliefs, passionate in his pursuit of what he felt to be right, and unafraid of controversy."
Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel are among the other Indian leaders previously honoured by English Heritage.
During his long stay in London, culminating in his being appointed independent India's first High Commissioner to the U.K., Menon took an active interest in the social and political life of the city. For 14 years in the 1930s, he served as a Labour councillor for the Borough of St. Pancras, and is still remembered for introducing travelling libraries and children's corners. During the Second World War, he served as an air warden around Camden Square, where he lived at the time, and in 1955 he was made a freeman of St. Pancras, only the second person ever to be given the honour after George Bernard Shaw. An indefatigable pamphleteer and fiery orator, Menon led the campaign for Indian independence with his characteristic gusto. The former Labour Prime Minister, James Callaghan, once described him as "the embodiment of the movement within Britain for India's freedom".
Bangladesh honours V.K. Krishna Menon, October 6, 2013
Thiruvananthapuram: Former Indian defence minister V.K. Krishna Menon has been posthumously honoured by the Bangladesh government with the 'Friends of Liberation War' award. The award was received by Krishna Menon's grandniece Radha Anand Menon at a ceremony at Bangabandhu International Convention Centre in Dhaka Oct 1, according to information available here. The award was conferred by President Abdul Hamid at a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, among others.
Menon, who studied at the London School of Economics and University College, London, also spearheaded the movement for India's independence from Britain. He founded the India League to lobby the British parliament and influence public opinion in Britain for the cause of India's freedom. He was also India's first envoy to England before he became defence minister in Jawaharlal Nehru's cabinet.
Krishna Menon is remembered as an extraordinary orator, and delivered a record eight-hour speech in the United Nations in 1957 defending India's stand on Kashmir. Menon was born in Kozhikode in Kerala in 1896, and travelled to Chennai and London for higher studies. He was also the Lok Sabha member from Thiruvananthapuram from 1971 till his death in 1974.
