We had Hindu Brahmin- Both South &North;Sikh, Muslim-Central,North East & South., but all male. No one from Christian religion as well as Women. Secondly, South President means , Prime minister from North if coalition politics continues. Christian tag obviously a disadvantage for Mrs Alva as normally both president and PM cannot belong to same group in prevaling situation,

Yes, She is the best choice, if this time the post is reserved for women. Christian but with the tredition of a Hindu, and simple not only in her life but also in making a point. Let a Christian be given a chance, when the turns of Hindu, Muslim and Sihks are over. As APJ inspired the nation but for his faith, let us have presidents from all faiths. As the PM always goign to be either from the majority or the atheist group
