Savitribai Phule

 Imagine!

your most respected teacher is on her way to school.  How would you react?

either you will gently greet them:- good morning, good evening accordingly

or you will hesitate and quickly walk away if you are a backbencher sort of student. 

 but let me open the curtains of the nineteenth century.....

The teacher is on her way to school. suddenly people start throwing pebbles, garbage, and even feces at her.  " I am doing a sacred task of teaching my young sisters, the stones pelted at me are like flowers," she said.

she is the reason why schools are open to everyone. She made it possible for all girls and guys to be able to study together in co-ed. She even started night schools for laborers, (who would work during the daytime and study at night.) She initiated PTMs. Her efforts bring about a revolution in history and resulted in a transformation in the education sector. 

she is Savitribai Phule.

lessons from the life of Phule;-

👉what does it take to be fearless:- the courage to question the existing system.

👉 The change will always be criticized until it becomes a routine.
