Name change to Minister for External Affairs of India
editThe position is officially called "Minister for External Affairs" and not "Foreign Minister". This is a designation similar to the US position called Secretary of State. I see no reason to call it foreign minister - that can remain as a redirect, but can't be the title of this official position! mukerjee (talk) 18:22, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, External Affairs Minister or External Affairs Minister, India Official website --Ekabhishek (talk) 10:09, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
