It depends on the perspective of the observer. You can spin it any which way you want.
It India it may also depend on the amount of graft available.

dear prasad !
correct observation. but some capable minister make even a less charming ministry more interesting with their innovation.in olden days the communication was less attractive and when it is separated from I&B,and came under a cabinet rank minister it has grown to level of 2G scam .
the environment ministry shot in to fame by efficient handling of sri Jayaram

I think the size of the budgetary allocations decide the importance of ministries. And, by today's Indian norms this also gives an indication of how much public money can be transferred to private coffers and what will be the leverage possible for graft!!
