Indians have a lot of folklores and the Eklavya, Dronacharya stories which glorify teachers. Call it a cultural difference or respect, only in India we have a system where students call teachers Sir and Ma’am/Madam.

Someone on reddit argues, “All teachers are elders and all elders in general have a worship me attitude.” Here are some reactions from a Reddit thread that breaks down why some Indian teachers have such an attitude.
