“The Presidential form of Government is the most suitable for India.” Do you agree? Give reasons.

Some scholars of political science and politicians are of the opinion that the Presidential form of government is more suitable to India than its present parliamentary form. They agree that in Presidential form of government, government is strong and stable and can meet emergencies effectively. Since India has multiple party system and their organisation is weak and loose, the defectors cause instability and weakness in the government.

But, in my view, parliamentary form of government is more suitable for India. Under this system government is responsible to the legislature and the people. Relation between the legislature and the executive makes passing of good laws possible. Besides, government can be easily changed according to the changing circumstances. The Parliamentary system has been working successfully in India for the last 56 years. Therefore, the Parliamentary form of government is more suitable for India than the Presidential form.
