EVERY YEAR in India, September 5 is celebrated as Teachers' Day, which is also the birthday of a great teacher Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan and former President of India.
As the story goes, when Dr Radhakrishnan became the president of India in 1962, some of his students and friends approached him and requested him to allow them to celebrate September 5, his birthday. In reply, Dr Radhakrishnan said, "instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers' Day". From then onwards, the day has been observed as Teachers' Day in India.
However, it is sad to see that the Teachers’ Day has been taken over by the market forces and has been commercialised.
Here are some pertinent quotes on teachers.

.celebration of teacher's day is now limited to giving gifts to teachers in schools and a rose to teachers in colleges. The relation and affection has lost it's ground. Who is responsible for this invaluable loss of our Indian culture-parents, teachers,government, education managements, money, politics, power... Do we need to recover this loss? If so How? Has a good any value or simply a bechara...
