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.

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.
