	Home ministry weakest link in Manmohan government
		Whether it is the complicated exercise of replacing governors, or managing the Arunachal Pradesh government or the fallout of the controversial decision of the Punjab government on water-sharing or the uprising in Manipur against the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, the home ministry has shown it could do with help in handling all these problems.
		Similarly, neither the Punjab governor, nor the intelligence agencies under the home ministry's control thought it fit to inform the Centre or the Prime Minister's Office that the Punjab government was passing a law that would rescind previous sovereign obligations.
		The governor gave his assent to a Bill passed by the assembly that was the thin edge of constitutional propriety.

	India - The Constitution
		In the executive branch, the governor plays a role analogous to that of the president, and the elected chief minister presides over a council of ministers drawn from the legislature in a manner similar to the prime minister.
		Governors are appointed to office for a five-year term by the president on the advice of the prime minister, and their conduct is supposed to be above politics.
		Governors not only attempt to keep opposition state governments in line, but also, while keeping the state bureaucracy in place, have exercised their power to dismiss the chief minister and his or her council of ministers.

	[Reader-list] Generals as Governors(Sanjib Baruah) Courtesy: www.tripurainfo.com
		While Manipur today has an elected chief minister and an elected state legislature like other states in the Indian Union there is also a de facto parallel structure of governance directly controlled from Delhi that manages counter-insurgency operations.
		For a governor a former military general to make a legal judgment on whether a chief minister should be prosecuted pushes the limits of constitutional propriety.
		To be sure, this power of Indian governors is not limited to the Northeast and as the Delhi-based magazine India Today pointed out in an editorial, there is something profoundly undemocratic about a mechanism which requires the governors permission to even begin legal proceeding against a chief minister seen as corrupt.
