India, March 3 -- The Islamic Republic of Iran has celebrated 40 years of the completion of its historic 1979 Revolution which brought forth a new era - the beginning of the Khomeini regime and the departure of the Pahlavi dynasty from the political scene of the country.

On February 1, that very year, Sayyid Ruhollah Mousavi Khomeini, popularly known as Imam Khomeini landed in Tehran from his long exile in Paris. He is believed to have been received amid revolutionary cheers by one of the largest crowds in history.

With this, what descended in Iran was a brand new rule of the clerics under the guidance of Supreme Leader Khomeini on the basis of the principles of rule by Islamic jurists known as "Velayat-e Faqih".
