The prsident in Inida is a suboirdinate of he ruling party or the ruling coalition and has no real value since the election to the office is NOT DOE BY THE PEOPLE but corrupt legioslators .in th epresent context , it is very well -known that the th emajority of the people wanted Abdul Kalam to continue ;but the political parties forming he governemnt dids not want the people's choice at the center. Is it not proof thaqt the politicalparties in p[ower do not care for the views and requirements of the people ? Election to the post of president should be by the people directly.even a panchayat president is elected by the people directly ; but the President of the largest democracy is just appointed by the politicl leadears commanding th emajority in the legislatures and parliament . So the Inidan president is a rubber stamp in th ehands of the ruling party or rhe majority coalition .The political parties have amended the constitution ,many times for their own cxonvenience of securing more votes for themselves .they should be forced to amend the constitution to provide for the direct election of the president also in th einterst of the nationwhich deserves something more than a rubber stmp in the hands of the ruling political parties.
