Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September???
Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September as birthday of the plagiarize man
In a country where teacher is worshipped, if he steals his students thesis and publishes it by his own name what are we supposed to call him???
Teacher deserves to be a respected person…
Not a plagiarize person…
In the January 1929 issue of the Modern Review, Jadunath Sinha made a sensational claim regarding Dr. Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli
None other than Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli had plagiarized from him his Indian Philosophy Volume II.
He had lifted several passages from Sinha’s thesis.

The battle spilled over into the February, March and April issues of the magazine too as Sinha cited several more passages to bolster his claim. Radhakrishnan hit back with letters in the February and March issues.
In August 1929, Sinha sued Radhakrishnan. Radhakrishnan counter-sued both Sinha and Ramnath Chattopadhyay, the editor of Modern Review.
Mr. Sinha was no sensation monger.
It was the two-part thesis that he submitted as part of this grant that Radhakrishnan allegedly filched from.
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan cheated his own Student by intellectual theft of his work.


It is baffling why Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan’s birthday has been recognized as Teacher’s Day
Why remember a staunch casteist and an an ardent Hindu ?
He was a staunch supporter of the varna and caste system.
He is been labelled as a hypocritical religious preacher by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Rahul Sanskrityayan.
He made no contribution to the development of education in India. Indeed, most of his recommendations as the president of University Education Commission, after his appointment in 1948, were downright backward, regressive in nature. Regarding women’s education, he observed that women and men are equal but they have different disciplines, hence women’s education should be such that she becomes an ideal mother and an ideal housewife.
This gives us an idea of his norms as an educator.
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan is hailed as a great philosopher of India. In reality, he was a religious preacher, not a philosopher. In a veritably methodical way, he established himself as the last philosopher in the tradition of Adi Shankaracharya. Like Shankaracharya, Radhakrishnan also upheld the condemnable rules enunciated in the Manusmriti. He observed that the Manusmriti is principally a religious scripture, a compilation of moral values, and that it re-established the glory of customs and traditions at a time when they were being undermined.
Tell me how can such a man usurp the place earned by Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule.
Compare Radhakrishnan with a Teacher with moral values..Teachers are knowledge givers/doners. Knowledge is for all.Our teacher’s give us equal knowledge without any differences.So,how can a person with inequality for people in thought and action be a teacher and a day be observed in his memory is my question??
Whereas,Mahatma Fule and Savitribai Fule struggled their entire life for Women’s education and education for all deprived from it.Their work has changed tremendous lives without any barriers of caste or creed or gender etc.Then why not observe Birth of either Mahatma Phule or Savitri bai Phule as Teachers Day ! As to my opinion any days from -
3 January (birth anniversary of Savitri bai ) or
10 March (in rememberance of Savitribai Phule) or
11 April (birth anniversary of Mahatma Phule) or
28 November (in rememberance of Mahatma Phule)
should be announced as Teachers day in our country !
As they are the ones who made the doorways education of knowledge & education open for all of us 🙏
I hope in this we are together….
Thankyou….

Environment destruction or an ages old tradition ??

A lot such things are done on Dusshera which shouldn’t be done as they are incorrect rather useless too… For example first let us consider distributing Apta leaves  (Bauhinia racemosa) as gold on Dusshera, may it be a long tradition now needs to be corrected. On one hand we give messages to save environment & on the contrary pluck the Apta leaves unnecessarily... But now the number of apta trees has come down drastically and there is a need to save these trees. The apta tree has no fragrance and does not bear fruit. So very few people plant it. As a result, the number of apta trees has decreased. Apta trees are found outside the village. The sellers bring in large quantities of apta leaves to sell on Dussehra in the market. Whereas, on the next day large quantity of dried apta leaves can be found thrown in the garbage. Therefore, offering apta leaves on Dussehra is merely destroying the environment. Apta tree has scientific importance, the ability to absorb carbon dioxide emitt...

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)

Generations to come will scare believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood. -Albert Einstein (to Mahatma Gandhi) Mahatma Gandhi was a visionary leader. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha movements. He inspired people to understand and learn resistance through non-violent civil disobedience. There are a lot of misgivings about Mahatma Gandhi in the mind of our people. Unlike I had already mentioned one in my previous article ‘Independence Day’ released on August 15 2021. (Attaching the link below https://janhavidudhane7.blogspot.com/2021/08/independence-day.html ) Gandhiji initially and from a very long time continued to oppose partition. He said Partition can happen only on his dead body. He even suggested that let Jinnah be the prime minister if that can avoid partition. [Jinnah was a dying man (a well guarded secret). He had less than a year to live. He wanted to ensure partition happens before he is gone.] Britishers wanted to sho...
