Numbering

Is there any rationale for the numbering? Why are we not counting Prime Ministers holding the defence portfolio (Nehru) or previous defence ministers serving again as defence ministers as the next number up (Swaran Singh)? Easwarno1 (talk) 07:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Minister of Defence (India) → List of Defence Ministers of India – This is merely a list -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 08:48, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The proposal creates an incorrect impression of possible proper names. List of defence ministers of India would be suitable. However, broadly oppose, as it is better to maintain consistency with the parent article, titled "Ministry of Defence (India)". --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:16, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Defence minister

Who was defence minister from 1952 to 1955? Naveenrai802 (talk) 14:45, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Female defence minister

Akku013, why do you want to add an entire line for Indira Gandhi being the first female defence minister? I understand why you made the edit initially, but there was no need to restore your version after the long standing version was restored, or after the entire mention was removed. —Gazoth (talk) 13:31, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
