Happy Teacher's Day 2020: 10 Quotes by Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan to recall today
Like Holi and Diwali, Teacher's Day is celebrated as a big festival in our country. The day is celebrated in honor of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan as he was born on this day in 1888. The great Indian philosopher and teacher gave us many teachings that still guide us through a rocky road. Since 1962, his birthday has been celebrated as Teacher's Day. In a famous quote by Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan who said "Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if 5 September is observed as Teachers’ Day," the day originated. He was one of the great philosophers that our country had seen and who bridged the gap between home school of thought and Western ideologies. On this day, students honor their teachers all over the country and seek their blessings.
