In India, national integration often happens not through policy but practice. A Tamil officer posted in Punjab, or a Sardar fluent in Tamil songs—these are living symbols of organic unity. The All India Services system enables officers to serve far from home, embracing new languages, cultures, and traditions. This seamless integration showcases how diversity thrives through shared service, not imposed formulas. Forget the debates around the three-language policy—real unity is forged on the ground, where work, respect, and curiosity bring Indians closer every day.

After the 12-day Israel-Iran war, an unexpected village in India has entered global focus. Kintoor, a village in Uttar Pradesh, is the ancestral home of Iran’s first Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. His grandfather, Syed Ahmad Musavi, was born there before migrating to Iran in the 1800s via Iraq, retaining “Hindi” in his name to honor his Indian roots. Khomeini’s rise from this legacy shaped modern Iran’s theocratic system. As geopolitical tensions rise, Kintoor’s forgotten link now highlights a deep historical and cultural bridge between India and Iran.
