Mr. Bharadwaj, sorry to say that the process of electing the president of our country has already gone to the dogs. None od us had ever heard of "pratibha patil" until her candidature for presidentship. Our president is the supreme commander of the armed forces (thats what they taught us in school and thats whats written in the text books......is it a FARCE ??). Don't know how will she command the forces ??
