520 _aAt one time or another, Dr Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi, M. A. Jinnah, Sardar Patel and many other top leaders strongly opposed India’s adoption of the parliamentary system. History has proven them right. Given its diversity, size, and communal and community divisions, the country needed a truly federal setup – not the centralized unitary control that the parliamentary system offers. Why India Needs the Presidential System tells the dramatic story of how India’s current system of government evolved, how it is at the root of the problems India faces. The result of years of meticulous research, this book makes a passionate plea for a radical rethink of India’s future as a nation. Why India Needs the Presidential System is not just an expose of what is wrong, but a serious effort at offering a possible solution.
