Shiv Shankar Menon is set to be India’s new National Security advisor. M. K. Narayanan, the outgoing security advisor of India is likely to be made Governor of West Bengal. The recent trends of the Ministry of Home Affairs suggest that the power bestowed on Shiv Shankar Menon is likely to be less than his predecessor Naraynan. The new security advisor is expected to look after the diplomatic affairs and Home Minsiter P. Chidambaram is going to play much larger role. A number of agencies that reported to the NSA now report to the minister.
