With woman president, one section of the society will be represented. And thats good.
What about the plight of so many physically / mentally handicapped section of the society? India should set an example and elect a mentally handicapped person to the highest office. Thats the only way we can prove we are progressive society. ( those argumentive type will argue that so overwhelming majority of the elected are mentally handicapped anyway, but you argumentive type please note that they were not medically certified as such).
It has happened in many other countires and I think this is the only reason why there is so much in India. Hey while just writing this I deranged.. Now I think I qualify to be a candidate. ;-) ;-)

Dear,Well said.We must give representation to every section of the soceity.But just to add..whatever criteria we choose for presidentail post,candidate must have shown loyality for Gnadhi-Neharu family in past.Without this however hard you try person is not going to be nominated.This is basic thumb rule in our country to keep paying back the sacrifices made by Gandhi-Neharu family.I dream of year 2100--when Madam XYZ Vadhera(Gandhi) will nominate mentally handicapped person to the highest office..or might be they nominate their Loyal Dog ''SHERU'' for the services he has given to their service!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not know what representation actually means. It will definitely put one woman "Pratibha" into President Bhavan but how it is going to help thousand of oppressesd women is beyoind my comprehension. K.R. Narayan was from backward class but did it help backward castes during his presidency. I think that only merit should be the basis in these matter.

You are right. In fact the position deserves a mentally handicapped person, since it carries no discretion, but to be bound by the advise of cabinet (or PM).
