Guys according to me one leader is not enough to handle the whole affairs of the country. Though there is a kind of instability in the present form of government but how can we say that after all the affairs of our our country is given in the hands of that 1 person will he be able to manage the country affairs?

My brothers and sisters, be it the parliamentary or presidential form of democracy, it is after all only a form ; however, substance is more important than form. It is the actual working of democracy that only matters. The United States follows the presidential form of government, our neighbor Pakistan also follows the same system of government, yet the difference is known to all.

Great Britain follows the Parliamentary government like India, unlike the USA, but it can hardly be gainsaid that as far as democratic rights are concerned the people of the USA and the UK can be significantly differentiated.

In India, people are still miles to go to enjoy democracy like those of the two above-mentioned countries. Many even question the efficacy of the western form of democracy in our land, be it parliamentary or presidential! Certain common parameters are essential for both types of government without them both are doomed to fail.

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.

We have seen both forms of government in the world and along with that their pros and cons. According to me the way a government works, depends mostly on the attitude of the people and resources and infrastructure present in the country. Having seen our way of working for past 67 years, it is natural to oppose the existing system.

But how can we ensure that if we choose presidential system, we will succeed in our quest. In one way or the other having regular checks on working government is useful, in country like India. Having no check on working of the government seeking the present situation in our country, it is hard to digest, the govt. Will keep up the good work.

Our problems are different from other countries, and to ensure that those problems get addressed on regular basis, there needs to be a system which includes criticism of policies and proper representation of problems. And for that purpose current system is good for our country.

We need democracy with stringent punishments for the convicts and fast track courts to punish them in time. If the rules are strict anyone doing wrong will be afraid of thinking of even doing wring.

Political parties must be made accountable for whatever they write in their manifestos and what they speak during campaigning to woo voters. There must be checks like we have consumer courts which made seller accountable for what he promises.

If a single person is ruling the whole country what is the guarantee that he will be working for the good of the people because power changes mind.

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".

Guys according to me this is not enough to make a one government in a country as to saw our situation at presidential these department corrupt and full of wrong right which totally related to their department. So however we have to make a sub system muss and initially compare or judges, power to control short time notification and able to success on their own field.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, as we all know that India is a diverse country. It has a huge population 2nd in the world within a small area. So one person at the center may not be able to cater the needs of all. It is not possible for everybody to move to the one lone person with all his powers in hand's.

That's why parliamentary form of government is adopted in India so that the local leaders like like sarpanches in small villages, MLA's in legislative assembly are more closer to the people living in those areas. People can approach their councilors MLA's directly for any problem complaints and suggestions.

No, its absently wrong to say that India should go with the presidential form of government since our country is one of of the largest democratic country in the world. And a single person will not be able to handle this huge population rather to have parliamentary form of government.

Basically in such a huge crowd there should be leader at each small level as in villages like Sarpanch and Mukhiya. If every higher office bearer people starts working for the poor and innocent people, then the day is no far when our country shall be counted in the recent developed one.

I think India should go with parliamentary form of government. India with presidential form of government looks like as a school with principal and students only and not having teachers. As the principal can't teach the whole school alone in the same way a single person can't handle a country with such a big population. In our history, we have followed this type of government. Then why that form of government had been changed? Because presidential form of government doesn't work in our country.
