The Presidents of Independent India: As Constitutional Custodians and Their Profiles, 1952-2007
Synopsis
The book is in two parts. Part I contains five chapters. Chapter 1 brings to focus the aura that surrounds the President's office. It describes the sprawling Rashtrapati Bhavan and its grandeur. The remaining chapters in this part of the book study the powers of the President in the Indian Constitution, his term of office, his election procedure, his relationship with the Council of Ministers, working of Indian Presidency since 1950, and the judicial interpretations relating to President's power vested in him/her by the constitution. Part II of the book provides profiles and contributions of the successive presidents from Dr. Rajendra Prasad to Pratibha Patil, including the Acting Presidents, highlighting their role in upholding the dignity of this constitutional office. Together, both the parts in this book should make it an essential book for all those who wish to know the President's constructive role in Indian democracy. It should also be useful for the students and teachers of constitutional law and politics.
