Question
Do you think the President of India should be directly elected by the people? Why/why not?

Solution
We have a system of government in which the Prime Minister is the most important person in the government of the country; the President is only a nominal Head. If the President was to be elected, then he too would be equally important and powerful. Then there would be a clash of powers. So, in my opinion, it is preferable that the President should not be directly elected by the people.
