September 5 Marked as Teachers' Day to Honor Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan's Legacy
September 5 is observed as Teachers' Day in India to honor Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, whose birthday is officially recorded on this date. Radhakrishnan, a philosopher and educator, expressed a wish to mark his 75th birthday as Teachers' Day rather than a personal celebration. He was closely associated with Jawaharlal Nehru, who supported this observance. Radhakrishnan also played a key diplomatic role as India's ambassador to the Soviet Union, contributing to the development of the non-alignment movement during the Cold War.
