What is Why India Needs the Presidential System about?

At 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. ** Cover Page 2 Book 4 Aldine 4 Cover 5 Title Page 6 Dedication 7 Contents 8 Preface 11 1 The System of Government Matters 13 2 British System Was Deceptively Attractive 54 3 Predilection for a Parliamentary System 87 4 Nehru Decides; Snubs Gandhi and Patel 114 5 A System Favoured by Party Oligarchs 137 6 A Major Reversal in the Constituent Assembly 162 7 A Case of Systemic Failure
