It is a lesson new policemen in India learn early on: they are in charge of everything except perhaps the weather. Their duties range from maintaining law and order and investigating crime to rounding up beggars and disposing of unclaimed bodies.


This situation has come about because the responsibility for internal security in India is fragmented and lies with the different state police forces without a substantive role for the Centre.
