The Great Indian Rubberstamp !

It's presidential poll times in India, is our president just a rubber stamp or something more than that ?

India has mostly had people with wisdom as it's president, be it Rajendra Prasad or Radhakrishnan or Abdul Kalam.Our politicians have so far selected the best available for the job.It used to be an unwritten law that a vice president would become the next president until Abdul Kalam broke the jinx.Actually seeing , A common man doesn't have any say in electing his president.Though it is said that we indirectly elect him etc , it's all just on paper.It is said that our elected MLA/MP should work for us . Ha Ha this is the greatest joke.I have never seen most of the MP's/MLA's work for the society instead they indulge in all sorts of criminal activities like human trafficking , drug peddling etc.Will these representatives of the common man think and select a good president for us ? And if at all they select , will a president function without political boundaries?

This year's presidential polls has thrown up lots of names including Amitabh Bachchan ,Karan Singh and current ministers including Shivraj Patil and Pranab Mukherjee.It is said widely that Pranab Mukherjee or Bhairon Singh Shekwat have a good chance of making it.unfortunately Abdul Kalam would have to make the way for the next president. It is most likely that Abdul Kalam would take up teaching and spread the importance of knowledge and patriotism amongst Indian children. I strongly believe that Abdul Kalam should be given a second chance but none of the top political bosses would support me on this. ( Great minds don't think alike is it ? ).

Whoever becomes the next president , he would still remain India's Greatest and the Most powerful rubber stamp unless the common man has a bigger role in choosing his president!
