I support parliamentary form of government in India because in this form, opposition parties plays a great role to enhance the working of other party, they highlights wrong dealings of opposition parties through which public get to know what the elected parties are working for their sake. It is well said that if you have your competitors you will perform better to shut your rivalries.

Secondly, single mind which is presidential form of government with no competitor's can't help the country to run to its best specially in a country like India which is a diverse country. Different people from different states with different thoughts only can fulfill the basic needs of the living beings who elect their candidate so that they could fulfill their needs, which is impossible in presidential rule because one person can't be known to every religion, rituals, culture and basic need of citizen to its all forms.

First of all, I would say about presidential that means President or the presidency that is the single person. President is selected directly through the public vote. Since India is one of largest democracy country in the world so, democracy should not be converted into presidential form because a single person would not be able to run our country. Due to presidential, no other person would be comparator or opposition of single person government so that they will oppose in the wrong work of government.

Since the presidential government cannot more effective the democracy. Its policies are more effective but do not function well. So, to take good decisions to develop of our Indian society not possible by a single person. The US is presidential but crime is going on faster than India. Since India is not developing country so, for this election should be conducted also for mukhiya, sarpanch, etc.

Hello friends,

In my opinion, presidential system won't give the result, what we are actually expecting to be happened. Of course The USA government follows the presidential system, but the laws and the rules they set for the candidates are strictly followed, and rules is rules for everyone who are under that government, and I think that's impossible in our country to be followed, because in the recent days we had seen many judgement that fails in justice.

So if we are getting into the presidential system the rules and regulations should be followed along with some correction in nomination rules. So for now, democratic system is good enough to give the result we are expecting but we people should take part in elections with responsibly, in the sense we should have a clear view regarding his crime report, educational qualification on the candidate before electing he/she.

I don't think an overpopulated country like India should not go for presidential government because:

1) Countries like the United States which has the presidential form of government have adequate resources and the correct personnel in the correct places for one man to rule the entire country but in a backward country like India which has a pot-pouri of uncoordinated services it is not possible to bring into existence and sustain the presidential form of government.

2) Having MP's and MLA's help in better management particularly in times of crisis and riots.

3) It is not possible for one man to know the demands and necessities of the entire country nor visit everywhere in person.

So to conclude I will say that a politically unstable country like India should not imply the presidential form of government.

I agree with the statement that "India should go for the presidential form of democracy".

Only one man who is capable of taking our country forward should be there to take the decisions.

India is a democratic country but in the shadow of this democracy how far we have gone?

What we have achieved? Nothing.

And where are we heading? towards corruption.

The condition of India was much better at the time of British rules as compared to present condition. Today we choose leaders of our choice but what we got? nothing more than fake promises and more and more scams and rising corruption.

And rarely if somebody got caught then because of his/her power he got bail and nothing else.

So to stop all this and to take India forward I'd say that,

"India should go for the presidential form of democracy".

We all till now have tasted the present political system and know that something is needed to be changed or modified for a better future.

What happening is we just put our faith on a leader and select a MP (Sometimes we don't even have our faith in that MP) and now our leader is directly selected by those MP's, now at this instant our role is over and all the decisions are taken by MP's and they now sometimes ask our leader for a special position or benefits for continuing their support and sometimes get sold ! so this system is actually weakening our leader and he can't take good decision rather than he got tangled only in politics.

What if we are able to directly select our leader and then he will setup the system towards development and this is possible if we switch to presidential politics.

I think that parliamentary form is better as we have an advantage of coalition government. India is a large country and one government or the president won't be able to run the country, but if we have two or more government working for the development of our nation then progress is sure. Few more justifications.

1. Coalition form of government checks the monopoly of a single party or person.

2. It gives opportunity to small parties to get their role in center.

3. The decisions taken are in the interests of everyone as they are taken after lots of deliberations. And we should not forget that government is chosen by the people that's what make our country the largest democracy presidential rule indicates dictatorship so it depend upon us what we wanna choose "democracy or dictatorship".

A presidential form will be more effective in our country as our polity has less power to execute because most power of a leader goes in formation of government with different parties. People do not get the right person to govern them as selection is indirect in our country. Democratic form also puts some candidates into important ministries which they are not master in. Presidential form will empower leader to choose ministers from people who excel in respective field. Here our leader will not be opposed by MPs and best brains will take care of people. Example, a scholar, researcher and experienced person from Electronics and IT will get Information and broadcasting ministry and not just a elected member having no knowledge of it.

India still is not in the position to become a single leader country as our country is diverse whether in terms language, culture, orientation, still we require the leaders who are well imbibed with the respective part of the country so these leaders will convey the message, the plight of the people or any kind of information etc. That is all running in India quite good.

So there will not be any considerations on the parliamentary form of the govt.

India still requires to be more developed in terms of Defense sector, agriculture sector etc.

Also, One of the merit of the parliamentary form of govt is that it consists both the ruling party and the opposition that will not help in running the country judiciously.

Hello to everyone; According to present point of views we have well known to our parliamentary system. In this system we have certain aspects to find out the various issues according to vote majority. But the presidential system voted by also ourselves by indirectly ; So I realize some basic points for it.

1. When our System being not going on proper way the main activity take to them presidential part.

2. All aspects of presidential format is visible for the Law system (All levels of courts).

3. Elected by president is well educated and well mannered people. etc.

Lastly I say that the main problem is not that system will not work properly, the matter how we tackle it in proper way.

Thanks to all.
