I think what Dr. Manmohan Singh - an otherwise venerable and erudite person - has been repeatedly ignoring is the purpose behind a reshuffle.It's all about providing dynamism and qualitative filip to governance. Sadly he has been using it a balancing trick to keep his diverse flock together!
I agree that this is a very futile and pointless exercise! To me it seems more like a ploy to throw dust into peoples' eyes to distract them from the more serious issues of corruption in government and the threat of terrorism. Otherwise, there is absolutely no fruitful purpose that can be achieved by such frequent shuffling.

Your views are correct,Kalyani! Particularly Jayram Romesh's shift from environment ministry is a case in point! He has been kicked upstairs with a cabinet rank!
