This is happening in almost all private schools with Big names , all _PS , St. etc are in the same suit. not to say they have turned into business houses
I used to respect my teachers, but this is not relevant anymore. Now education is commercialized and most of them act like goons why should we akd kids to repsect those> Now it is like any other business.
90% of the list is known to the outside world for their accomplishments outside the realm of education.
You wouldnt have heard of Radhakrishnan had he not been the President.
You wouldnt have heard of Tagor had he not been a great freedom fighter and a great poet.
Who would have heard about MMS had he not been a selected PM?
Savitribai Phule wouldnt have been heard of had she not been a social reformer alongwith her husband.
If I were the selector, I would have had a serious look at the teachers of these great illustrious people whom you had mentioned as great teachers. May be it is because of those who taught these men, these men have or had become what they are!
Re: THE GREATEST TEACHERS ARE THOSE WHO TAUGHT THIS LIST!

This is just another politically correct gimmick of the paid media.
It is said Maata, Pitha, Guru, Daivam in our culture.A Teacher is given rightful place after parents & before God.A society which respects Teachers is bound to prosper.Thus it is a bounded duty by all to give back to the institution of Teachers.Sadly in our country this profession is given a left handed treatment! High time the Govt.looks after the welfare of Teachers on a priority for our country to progress.
MMS does not deserve a mention in this list, as he has never been hailed for his teaching/mentoring abilities. He's an exceptional scholar, not necessarily a teacher. Would have loved to see Prof. CNR Rao and a couple of coaches from the sporting field as well. Talking of classical music, with all my due respect to Ustad Alla Rakha and Pandit Sawai Gandharva, I firmly believe the two greatest gurus in this field are Ustad Allauddin Khan and Pandit Jnan Prakash Ghosh.
