Diplomatic and military powers are not related to the powers of the Governor.

Diplomatic and military powers are executive powers vested exclusively in the President of India, who is the head of the Union Executive.

The Governor is the constitutional head of a state and exercises executive powers relating to the state. Powers of the Governor include appointing the Advocate General of the State (Article 165), summoning, proroguing, and dissolving the State Legislature (Article 174), and power to grant pardons, reprieves, respites or remission of punishments in cases relating to matters to which the executive power of the state extends (Article 161). These are distinct from the diplomatic and military powers of the Union.
