In spite of overwhelming public opinion in favour of a non-politician President, our politicians have chosen one of their own and Pratibha Patil or (improbably) Bhairon Singh Shekhawat would become our next President There is no public participation in election of the national head. Our representatives give no importance to will be people. I suggest that some suitale amendments may be made in our constitution to enable direct public participation in chosing the Rashrapati.
