    I totally agree with Vincy. To be responsible or to get hard working and responsible people in top position like these, we have to do something with the present political system and politicians. We cant let them go scot-free. They come to power and spoil the whole system.

    All our policies, systems, equipment and mentality are extremely primitive. The present day terrorists are high tech. We have to wait and see what kind of system we are going to implement.

    It took 20 years or more to kill one Veerappan, though there was a dedicated task force to hunt him. I suppose this example is good enough to explain the entire system. These measures are a kind of eye-wash to show people we are doing something. I think people in India, want to have a detailed PLAN which tells us - how all current and future threats are taken care, what resources are given to them, what is the implimentation, continuiety strategy, accountability etc. Govt accountability does not end when  political bosses quit after failures, he must be tried in courts and punished, if found negligent. Only then we can see good/smart people managing the state affairs.Today any politician can hold any state portfolio without any responsibility or fear.

    Is Home Minister confirming that the current home ministry departments are ineffective?. Some of the dangers of these kind of strategic re-organization of govt bodies are, 1) They have an immediate and desperate need to establish their existence. In this case, public can expect lot of minorities being arrested, encounter killed etc. You know what happens next? It is a vicious cycle! 2) Corruption down to every street in the name of this department. There will be yearly funds budgeted and would be misused for wrong purpose. Issues the department is trying to address are not widespread across the state. 3) Govt. is desperate in creating fear in general public of inevitable danger of these inhuman acts. Fear is proven to be the most proven instrument to effective rule since ancient days. Govt is confirming how far we are on Civilization. 4) What happens to the legwork and intelligence which is with current wings of Home Ministry?. Are we starting a fresh? It usually gets lost in the transition. This solution is addressing political interests of the BJP party. I would say even any party would have done the same. It keeps these corrupt leaders in control of citizens’ destiny.
