    But we would be lying if we say that we do not love and miss them today.

    So, this Teachers' Day 2019, here's remembering five of the greatest Indian teachers of all time.

    Rabindranath Tagore: India's first-ever Nobel laureate

    Rabindranath Tagore: India's first-ever Nobel laureate
  • The first Nobel laureate from India- a writer, scholar, and composer, Rabindranath Tagore was way ahead of the curve.

    He never really took any formal education, but went on to set up the world-famous Santiniketan school.

    He discarded conventional teaching methods, and believed in the Gurukul system of learning.

    "The main objective of teaching is... to knock at the doors of mind," said Tagore.

    Savitribai Phule: The crusader of women education in India

  • A renowned social reformer, Savitribai Phule spearheaded the cause of women education in India.

    She, supported by her husband Jyotirao Phule, founded the country's first girls' school in Pune in 1848, defying several social norms, thereby becoming the first lady teacher of India, and bringing about an educational revolution in the country.

    "Awake, arise and educate. Smash traditions- Liberate," Phule famously said.
