Dear Students, On Independence Day, there is something worth remembering amid the usual rush of preparation. We spend a great deal of time reading about India, its Constitution, history, economy, society, conflicts, achievements and the everyday realities of its people. At times, it can feel like just another part of the syllabus. But step back, and it is quite remarkable: we are getting to know the country we live in, in far greater depth than we otherwise might. And if this journey eventually takes us into public service, you will have the privilege of contributing to a country we have spent years trying to understand. That is reason enough to pause today and feel grateful. Happy 80th Independence Day. 🇮🇳
