Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
The President is India’s head of state, occupying the highest constitutional office. Elected indirectly by an electoral college comprising MPs and MLAs, the President performs ceremonial roles like summoning Parliament, appointing the Prime Minister, and giving assent to bills. However, real executive power lies with the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister. Certain powers, like pardoning convicts (Article 72) and promulgating ordinances (Article 123), highlight the President’s discretion. Yet, typically, the President acts on the advice of the Council of Ministers. Understanding these nuances clarifies the delicate balance between constitutional formality and political reality in India’s parliamentary democracy.
