India is anyway suffering from the 'virus' called corruption since years despite of having a parliamentary form of government. So why not take a risk of 5 years and try the presidential form of government? risk are high but there's no harm in taking one!may be that could lead to political stability in an organized way!

In parliamentary form of govt executive is accountable for its every action to legislative but delay in implementing decisions. In presidential form of govt there can be quick progress in implementing decision but it can be turned into anarchy if we allow it in India because executive is not accountable. Better to follow parliamentary form of govt.

With the experience of more than 60 years of the parliamentary system, the situation is disappointing in every walk, hence even after considering some demerits of the presidential system, it is superior & should be accepted. It will curb the present chaos & corruption to a large extent.

The parliamentary form of government is ideally suited to a democratic set up such as India as against the presidential form adopted by the USA which however according to you is a better form of government. Support your answer with relevant examples and arguments.

India should have presidential form of government so that it can take quick decisions and perform better in the future. And at the same parliament form of govt is also good because there is choice for the people to choose their leaders.

It is alright to discuss the best form of government over presidential or parliamentary system but now in India's the current situation warrants that for another five year period we need a presidential form of government by electing a party to power which is represented by a strong leader. By doing so India can be brought back to the growth path This will be a real test to decide which form of government is suited for India. At this juncture one should remember in the present system due to corrupt politicians we have seen only dynastic rule.

I think parliamentary form of government is better as because US which follows presidential form is ranked 19 th most corrupt country while India is ranked 94 th most corrupt. There are many more such examples. Which can prove this fact.

As we all know that INDIA is a democratic country which means people choice, that is "for the people, by the people and of the people. INDIA is the land culture, more then 1000 of religions exist here, different people leave here they have different interest which may create conflict of interest between them. So I think that there should be parliamentary form of government so that every people representative can give their views. Now INDIA has developed a lot in many sectors and more to develop also and this can be done by the people only. We cannot take risk with our country, cannot follow presidential form of government like USA. So according to me there should be parliamentary form of government for in future also.

India is developing not because of the political system. India is developing in-spite of the political system. With proper and accountable form of governance, India could have by now reached a super power status given the resources and the abilities of the people.
India experimented with parliamentary system of democracy, copied largely from UK. Unfortunately it has not worked for India. India as a nation is deeply divided into several groups with conflicting interests. Indian democracy in practice has not been able to abolish caste system that divides the majority community into groups with conflicting interests despite many laws. Accountability is the major causality in the Indian style of democracy.
The Political parties often give importance to the winning chances based on the group and caste following a candidate has. Even in cabinet formation, caste plays its role, many times in the formation of Cabinet. Caste and communal divide made India into one of the most corrupt nations in the world. Some credible estimates put the annual corruption at 50 Billion dollars.
To fight the twin causes of corruption and caste, may be India need to debate on a presidential form of government on the US model. A strong executive President does not need the support of caste and communal vote banks. He can go ahead with reforms that make the administration more transparent, less corrupt and more account to the citizens and the nation. A powerful and committed, and accountable administration is the need of the hour.
