Presidential v/s Parliamentary Form of Government in India

Its great to have presidential form of government because country needs a dynamic free and fear free leader who can work of his own so presidential would be good.

Parliamentary form of government is the best for India because if presidential form is used all the powers would go in one person's hands and India would no longer be a democratic country. Today the powers of India are situated both in the president's and the prime minister's hands. So we now that our country's head is not one person but two persons with different thinking!!

What I think is that each of the forms have advantages as well as disadvantages. Although we cannot deny the fact that people of India has always demanded a strong leader to lead them e.g. Mahatma gandhi, bhagat singh and many more leaders. So I think that presidential form of government is better for India provided the power does not goes in wrong hands.

According to me parliamentary form is the best form of government. Here everyone has a right to do anything. No person can interface in it. India is one of the most populated country in the world so it is better form to remove the inequalities and poverty against the people.

See friends, I am joining too late. But India is different case. In china, 95% are Hans, more or less they have a kind of same ideology but India as many have said here is multilingual, multicultural country, presidential form cannot be good option, but with the same system if we can hold our government officials accountable to their work, then this system will also work. Why to destroy such unique form of government we are having where the legislative, executive, judicial wings have independent powers.

Constitution of India provides for a Parliamentary form of government. In doing so it follows the British model of government. Infact, the system of government that operated in India before 1947 was quite similar to the British model of parliamentary government. The members of the Constituent Assembly therefore decided to adopt this form of government for Independent of India. The Constitution of India provides for the organization of parliamentary government both at the central and state levels. All the features of a parliamentary government: Close relationship between the legislature and executive, responsibility of the executive before the legislature, head of the state as the nominal executive, and Prime Minister and the Council of Minister as the real executive, have been adopted in India.

INDIA is a well known democracy. The Indian constitution is a very strong constitution among all other countries. So instead of practicing any new form of government, efforts should be made to remove the discrepancies of the present form and bring an improvement in it because if we go for presidential form all decisions may go in one hand WHICH MAY NOT LEAD TO FRUITFUL RESULTS.

Instead efforts should be made to remove the discrepancies in the present system like by providing identity and a dignified position to a person according to his work ability and standards. There should be flexible standards made.

I favour the parliamentary form of democracy, through and through. History says that most presidential forms of democracies have been misused and abused to become dictatorship. In a parliamentary form, it is absolutely difficult to transform though. Given the nature of our politicians, presidential form of democracy will be disastrous. Parliament stops that single person from abusing power. Just look at Egypt, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Russia and many many countries. Even though there might be policy paralysis and inaction's, always, and always, a parliamentary system means stability. Presidential system works only when there is less diversity and the people are more homogeneous and speak more or less the same language. It will fail in India. India should essentially remain a parliamentary democracy.

India need more refined form of government. It need semi presidential government where PM candidate should be declared before election by political parties so that people may guess about their leader. And pm should made more strong so that no MP can give resign without his permission. One can change party only between code of conduct and cabinet minister can be made from parties having more than 28 MPs. We should popularize two party system as it is in USA. 25 percent cabinet minister should be taken from opposition party so that they feel themselves part of government.

In my point of view, parliamentary government is best for India. Because India is a democratic country. In presidential government, there is only one person who is the head of the state as well as the government. So, we shouldn't replace the parliamentary government with presidential government.
