India on Saturday celebrated Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan's 137th birth anniversary, also celebrated as, National Teacher's Day in the country.
Ex-President and an eminent scholar, Radhakrishnan was born in the year 1888.
In 1965, some of his students wanted to celebrate his birthday and asked him for his permissions. Radhakrishnan replied with “Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if 5 September is observed as Teacher's Day.”
After his death two years later, September 5 was officially declared as Teacher’s Day in India.
Messages have been flooding social networking sites with eminent personalities and politicos posting their thoughts, sharing fond memories, reminiscing their favorite scholarly moment.
