Teacher’s Day in India is a well-observed “holiday.” By holiday I don’t mean teachers get a day off or anything, but students shower their teachers with cards, gifts, and often plan a special program. In India, Teacher’s Day is every year on September 5 – the birthday of the second President of India, academic philosopher Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. At DEC (Darjeeling English Center) we celebrated on September 6 since the 5th fell on a Sunday.
Our students made us feel very loved and appreciated! The silk scarves around our necks are given to show honor and respect.
