Will India be ready to have a female president?
I don't see why not? when it can have a female prime minister in the past, why not a president now?

sure melroy !!

Actually in such a topic there are no pros and cons... but merely a difference of opinion.

First of all, India has been a country where women have the age-old status of being a house wife... That is why they're also called 'grahni' or the one who manages the house. Hence, the vote bank, which largely includes rural masses still have the concept that women can do good only in the house, not outside....

Yet politics can give a number of examples, like, Indira Gandhi, Hillary Clinton, Rabri Devi, etc. who have come out of the so-called 'char diwari' and took the reins of the country, their region, etc. Hence, such examples can be used to brand the new image of women... not just home maker, but the world maker.

This can actually help in solving many women-issues and can help in the upliftment of women to certain extent (with the new image they can gain)

I think campaigning from this point of view can actually be very meritorious if handled in the right way.

p.s. Melroy, a GD is won depending on how much input u can put, how subtly a topic can be discussed... The more the number of distinct points, u give, the better are ur chances.

Is India ready to have a female president?
Why this topic is being discussed, do we need to discuss such topics, I don’t think so that in any civilized society, there should be any such talk. Women are no way lesser than their male counterparts, why there is so much hoolaboola being created for a presidential candidate who happens to be a woman.
Was she a first choice?
Was there really any intention to have a women president?
I afraid the answer to both these questions is a plain NO.
So it should not be a question is India ready to have a female president, but it should go like this, why there was no women president in 60 years of independence.

[anshul14]

Well whenever a question of governance comes, there should never be any debate on the male-female front. In my opinion, its the maturity level, the leadership quality, the educational background and the ability of an individual to connect herself/himself with the masses are the ones to be considered.
Pratibha Patil must have had the capabilities to be nominated in the first place, and once she has, its now the responsibility of our ministers to judge her on above qualities with her counterpart . We all had a example of Late Mrs.Indira Gandhi in front of us , who had been one of the finest Prime Minister India has ever produced. Not only in politics, we have good female leadership in other spheres also, be it Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Shahnaz Hussain or Naina Kidwai all have proved more than worthy of their respective positions .So, it all narrows down to one's ability and maturity to handle a position.

[maddyrules]

I think its ready a long time ago.
If a powerful post of prime minister/Chief Minister can be held by a Women, y not President?

[maddyrules]

If a powerful post of Prime mInister or Chief MInister can be held by a Woman, Y not President?

[rhs]

yes,she shouldnt act as a puppet like rabri devi to the male politicians.

[rutu]

yes,she shouldnt act as a puppet like rabri devi to the male politicians.

hey please donot compare pratibha patil to people like rabri devi.........she is much more talented and educated then her.........being a lawyer, ex-governer and deputy chairperson of the Rajya Sabha............to be compared to rabri devi is simply not fare.
and as far as the question of women being a president is concerned..........i think its high time when people need to start thinking practically and forward..........instead of taklin about and comparing her with the other candidates on the basis of gender ................ why cannt we just compare her with the opponents based on her abilities and achievements. which she has........

[hunk.vipul]

no females please!!!!

[roshcrazy]

no females please!!!!

no words to say...!!
simply>>>>>>:SugarwareZ-064:

m sorry if i might sound harsh..but i really don understand wht kinda rubbish is this...what is the whole idea in raising such a topic..?!!??i seriously pity ppl who also make such qs..any field any profession cannot be judged on the basis of it being run by a men or women..both are equally capable..rather capabilities depends on each n every single person and NOT ON THE GENDER..SO PLS STOP RAISING SUCH SENSELESS QUESTIONS

[DRISHYA]

Will India be ready to have a female president?

I say, India is not concerned about the gender of the president.
INDIA IS WAITING FOR A GOOD, CAPABLE, DESERVING, COMPETENT AND AN OUTSTANDING PRESIDENT be it a man or a woman!

[Amittyaagi]

When India can have Woman Chief Minister Decades ago (Sucheta Kriplani in 1963, she became the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh), and Woman Prime minister (Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi who served as Prime Minister of India for three consecutive terms from 1966 to 1977 and for a fourth term from 1980 to 1984) why not woman President ?.

But the main problem lies in the way the Present woman candidate is selected.

[Jayita]

Its high time V do get a female president & Y not if she is deserving! Kudos to girl power :D !

[hawk31981]

Guys get over the male female stuff if a person is capable then that person should be the president also to be noted is that the role of the president in India is largely ceremonial and has no real powers. Max can send bills back to parliament but if returned back has to sign.

[RAHUL2021]

well India is ready...but the OPPosition paties n politics?????????

[melroy88]

A female president....hmmm im kinda not 100% for this...

[heenachougle]

actuallyy....yes..coz there's no prob havng female president....bt most imp thing is she shld b capable......letz hope for the best....

[melroy88]

actuallyy....yes..coz there's no prob havng female president....bt most imp thing is she shld b capable......letz hope for the best....

Such desicions cannot be based on HOPE or Gutt feelings....It has to be 100times thought of and implemented.So even if a president is gonna be a woman! she will surely be capable of handling the nation wether indian peep like it or not! :D

[kukrejanilesh]

i guess we r ready for any kind of president ...its just for mockery

[dhamodi]

nothing wrong in having female as a president as long as she is capable.

[gpuneetg]

yes y not..we need a president who can represent our country whether its man or woman

[rachitchaudhary]

Yes India is ready, depending on the capability.

[samiksha_hi]

The fact of the matter is that India should be ready for a President who can stand up for the country and take the right decisions by not being swayed by political interest only , but by really what the masses of this country need -be it a woman or a man

[ashpt33]

we already have one..............................

[kapil21682]

its not about being a male or a female.. I guess the president in our country does have all the silent powers with him.. he is not as powerful as the country's prime minister.. thus I dont see with the current constitution.. things improving much!

[Arun1974]

yes ofcourse india is ready to explore women power
