India's Ministry of Home Affairs, with its striking durability, and
ability to adapt to the transition from colonial rule to
post-colonial governance, is a remarkable example of institutional
resilience. Home's special expertise in governance by stealth -
maximum order with the use of minimum force - was instrumental for
the department to acquire a secure niche within the colonial
structure. Following the end of colonial rule in 1947, the Home
Department, still ensconced in the majestic North Block of Delhi,
mutated into the Home Ministry of the Indian Republic. How a
colonial institution whose key task was to hold Indian nationalism
at bay became the architect of the post-colonial state and nation,
is one of the main questions to which I respond in this book.
Home's multiple roles as the keeper of public order, mentor to
public services and the invisible sinews of the state that holds
the noisy democracy and assertive regions together to explain its
exalted status in India's governance and politics. My analysis,
based on declassified files of the Ministry of Home Affairs,
correspondences, biographies and interviews, explores the multiple
roles of the Ministry, with its penchant for governance by stealth
as my focus
