The Minister of Home Affairs (or simply, the Home Minister) is the head of the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Government of India. One of the senior-most officers in the Union Cabinet, the chief responsibility of the Home Minister is the maintenance of India's internal security; the country's large police force comes under his ambit. Occasionally, he/she is assisted by the Minister of State of Home Affairs and the lower-ranked Deputy Minister of Home Affairs.
Ever since the time of independent India's first Home Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the office has been seen as second in seniority only to the Prime Minister in the Union Cabinet. Like Patel, several Home Ministers have since held the additional portfolio of Deputy Prime Minister. As of February 2018, three Home Ministers have gone on to become the Prime Minister who are: Lal Bahadur Shastri, Charan Singh and P. V. Narasimha Rao.
Since 26 May 2014, the Home Minister of India is Rajnath Singh of the Bharatiya Janta Party, taking over the reins from Sushilkumar Shinde.
