*From what I understand, in India, a local can never be a Governor of the
state they were born in.... Something to do with prevention of secession as
I was told. *

Response:****
It is pure convention or tradition. Nothing to do with secession. Governors
have minimum role to play in day-to-day administration. They are mere
titular heads. They play a important role only during government formation
and when the government disintegrates. Dr Karan Singh, a Kashmiri was
Governor of J&K from 30.3.1965 to 15.5.1967. Mr B K Nehru was also Governor
of J&K from 22.2.1981 to 26.4.1984. Nehru originally hailed from J&K. I
guess it has much to do with checks and balances and good corporate
governance.
