Teachers are poorly paid for the amount of time (preparation and actual teaching) they spend. For shaping so many students future, the pay cannot be equated by money. Falling at the teacher's feet is the least that could be done. When you fall at a person's feet, you are physically leaving yourself at his / her mercy. So probably you will do it only in two situations - fear & respect. So when you fall at your teacher's feet, it is respect from your heart that has overcome the shame of fallin at some ones feet in the public. Politicians falling at feet donot belong to these two categories - they do it for self gain. i make it a point to atleast call all the teachers who shaped my life and thank them every year. They feel so happy and motivated to teach more. No money could give this feeling to a teacher. You should be proud that you are respected so much. i felt goosebumps to read the information about Dr. Radhakrishnan. i think that respect is well deserved to good teachers.

Also, it is disturbing. I strongly feel that it should not have happened even in the best of the students-teacher relation. If an Indian Professor had to subject his students to this condition, I wonder what his British counterparts would have derived out of them. By the way, here I found some anomaly, i.e. a factual mistake ``...he was to leave from Mysore (500 km south-west of Calcutta) by train, he needed to travel ... " - it should be more than 1500km (the correct figure is 2020 kms). I understand this must be a typo. Interesting read it is to know that Dr.Radhakrishnan was taken in a chariot pulled by students.

If look book, I remember teachers who had deep influence on me and they are very few. It is a fact that we lack good teachers starting from pre-kg to post-grad level. Teachers should lead the students into learning and not enforce learning on them. Let us hope we have more of teacher who can influence the coming generation.
