When Dr. Abdus Salam won the Nobel Prize in December 1979, he issued a request to the Indian government seeking to locate his teacher Professor Anilendra Ganguly, who had taught him mathematics at the Sanatan Dharma College in Lahore.
However, following Partition, Professor Ganguly had migrated to India.
Finally, two years after winning the Nobel Prize, Dr. Salam went to pay his respects to Professor Ganguly at the latter’s residence in South Kolkata on January 19, 1981.
The teacher was feeble and unable to sit up and greet him when Dr. Salam visited him in his house. Dr. Salam took his Nobel medal and said that: ‘Mr. Anilendra Ganguly this medal is a result of your teaching and love of mathematics that you instilled in me,’ and he put the medal around his teachers’ neck,”

But yes Ustad has much wider meanings than teacher because teacher just conveys the meaning as پڑھانے والا
