Khomeini's Indian Roots and Iran's Theocratic State

Imagine Iran's history as a story of change.

The leader of Iran's big revolution, Khomeini, had a grandfather from India.

This grandfather taught him about the Shia faith.

Khomeini used this knowledge to change Iran into a religious country.

Now, people are discussing who will lead next.

But because Khomeini spoke against families running the country, the current leader's son probably won't take over.

This story shows how one family's past and beliefs helped shape a whole nation's future.
