Do you believe that the president of India is merely a figurehead while the real power resided in the prime minister and the council of minister? |

Answer» Answer: Does the Indian president serve a purely ceremonial role? Is this a mere figurehead who, in the words of former prime MINISTER Jawaharlal Nehru, is a "head that neither reigns nor governs", and holds a position of "authority or dignity" more than anything else? Last month's election of RAM Nath Kovind as the republic's 14th president reignited the debate. In his inaugural speech, President Kovind, a former SPOKESMAN for the ruling BJP, promised citizens he would "STAY TRUE to the trust that they have bestowed me". |
