Teachers, The Gurus!!
Teaching is one of the most empowering profession in the world. Behind every successful person, whether it is a doctor, engineer, lawyer, artist, baker, or any other profession there is a teacher.
Teacher’s Day is celebrated all over India on the 5th of September, as it marks the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan who was an Indian academic, professor, philosopher, and politician who served as the first Vice President of India and the second President of India. Teacher’s Day has been celebrated in India since 1962.
Dr Radhakrishnan was born on September 5, 1888. He belonged to a Telugu family and studied Philosophy at the University of Madras. He presented a critical and comprehensive analysis of the Vedanta branch of Hindu Philosophy. He assumed the office of Vice-Chancellor of Andhra University from 1931-36. He was the Vice-Chancellor of Banaras Hindu University from 1939-48.
He also published, “The Philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore” and “The Reign of Religion in Contemporary Philosophy”.
He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1937 for the first time. He served as the first Vice president of Independent India and was in term from 1952-57 and again from 1957-62. He was then appointed as the 2nd President of India when he succeeded Dr. Rajendra Prasad. He was awarded India’s highest civilian honour Bharat Ratna in 1954.
The history of why the day is celebrated as teacher’s day is very important and we should mention it to our children to make them understand and realize how important a teacher is. We should help them acknowledge that they should respect their teachers, and learn from them as much as they can.
Teacher’s Day is not marked as a holiday in India but is celebrated by organizing different activities by the children for their teachers and having a fun time at school, which is also an essential part of the development of a child. In some schools, the senior most class of the school take the role of the teacher and teaches the junior classes.
