It's not the form of government that is important. The main thing that is important is the healthy interaction between the leader and his/her subjects and both should have trust in each other. And in case it doesn't happens the country cannot be developed by changing the form of government, but itself seems to be bombarded and doomed by various problems.

In my view parliamentary form of govt is the best because as India is a vast country. Many politicians are required, thereby seeking small responsibility in every politician. And misuse of power can be reduced. But in presidential form of govt power lies in once individual. There by whole authority comes into his hands in taking any sort of decision. Thereby there will be no power ahead to punish him. Leading to disasters. And threats. So"INDIA SUITS TO BE IN PARLIAMENTARY FORM OF GOVERNMENT".

I don't think any government form will create any impact on peoples in India. We have to make some changes in ourselves. America has a Presidential form of govt. But they are successive not due to the form of govt. They have but because of its judicial system, law and order and almost no corruption. If we can remove corruption, enforce law and order and hold the government and its officials accountable, our system will work. These are the root cause of the problems that we have in this country.

In India there are various religions and casts so parliamentary goverment is not effective in India as England. Now a days due to this type of goverment many regional political powers are rising which is very harmful for the nation of India. I strongly support presidential rule, but there are some conditions like it should be democratic, the president must be elected by the people of india, and a face which is well known to all should be given the power because if the people are aware of the character and the nature of the nominated persons then it would be better to elect the best one.

DEMERITS OF THE CURRENT PARLIMENTARY SYSYEM:.
1. The electorate through the general elections elect a party to power, but more often than not, the name of person who would become prime minister after being elected to power is not disclosed. Even if it is disclosed very frequently it is changed after being elected to power. The prime minister is invested with several key powers; the electorate should have the right to know his identity.
2. The cabinet ministers, who play an integral role in the functioning and development of the country, are not directly elected by the people. This makes the whole process of voting less democratic in nature. The real power is not in the hands of the people.
3. This un-involvement of the people in the elections also decreases the interest and need of the people to vote, as they do not actually play a definitive role in the formation of the government.
4. Very frequently in India, the government formed is a coalition of parties (E. G. The United Progressive Alliance). In such a system there could be constant frictions between individual parties, due to the difference in ideologies. On account of this there could be stagnation of public work programmes, implementation of policies etc.
5. The concept of vote banks is unfortunately, firmly instilled in the Indian system of a parliamentary democracy. Vote banks are created in different areas and constituencies by different candidates and parties, on the basis of cast, race, religion etc. Corruption and defection too is rampant. A more transparent system is required.
Hence clearly a presidential system is required.

As for my opinion presidential from of government is correct in India. Because in parliamentary government there is distributed powers among the leaders. No one has specific powers to development throw their ways. So it is delay the process towards the light. Our friend said that India is in second place in population but the first one China follows the presidential government and it still development is possible in it.

I guess parliamentary form of government is a better form of government as compared to presidential form as in presidential form of government there is only one person who is the head of the state as well as the government giving so much power in one person's hand can lead to misuse of power. A country like India having vast population needs a mixture of people from different castes and religions to form a government so as to understand each and every group. In parliamentary system every person gets a fair opportunity to represent his/her religion's or caste's problems.

Presidential form of govt is the only way for development of India then parliamentary form. Because in presidential form people elect one person and vest power in his or her hand, not to thousands like parliamentary form which lead to misuse of power. So according to me presidential form is the only way to india's success. Because right person at right place and at right time to act.

People say that presidential form may lead to dictatorship, so parliamentary form is good. I want to say that every problem has its own solution which leads to research. According to my research I concluded with my points that there will be no misuse of power in presidency form which may lead to dictatorship. And they are-.
*no president can hold the office for more than two years term means 10 years.
*if people find that president is going wrong then they may withdraw power by voting.
*if president tries to supress people then people are having right to act and inform supreme court in which court orders military to take action.
So these are the steps to be taken if the president goes tyrant.

India being a democratic country it should have a parliamentary form of government because here good quality of decisions are made.
