“Does India really need a President?

Article Summary by: apverg    

Original Author: The Sunday Indian Team
This refers to the cover story “Does India really need a President (TSI July 8).  It is a sad and naked fact
that the largest democracy’s Supreme Commander is only a rubber stamp. Do we really need such a president is a question worth thinking and discussion. Your covey story raised a big question to the thinking people of India, Yes, why then we need to waste such a lot of money, energy and time for this futile exercise.  The need of a president arises only when we face a constitutional crisis.  In such situation that can definitely be tackled by the supreme judiciary of this country.  If at all we need a president the present system of electing the president should be reviewed and along with the elected representatives all the citizens of India (Eligible Voters) should also get a chance to vote their opinion.  The elected representatives change their steps according to their whims and fancy ones they get elected. The voters have no voice then.   These days a good number of these representatives even indulge in horse trading.  To stop this we need to find a solution as early as possible. The present electing system of the president definitely need change, it should be re-checked and reviewed.  People’s representation is a must in this election. Indian think tanks should find a solution to this. Medias like TSI should come forward and take initiative to implement the changes.  It is a sad and naked fact that the largest democracy’s Supreme Commander is only a rubber stamp.

    “Does India Really Need A President?

    A Good thought, Yes do we need an ornamental post like a Rubber stamp President? My firm answer is a BIG NO. I fully agree with the writers.
