How far Indian Presidency is distinct from the British, American and French systems? How far the President of India can play a constructive role in the present political scenario? What had been the contributions of the successive Presidents in preserving, protecting and defending the Constitution of India? Illustrated with the views of the jurists, this book provides a lucid explanation of such and other aspects. The biographical essays of the 13 Presidents, including those who acted as Presidents for a short while, are aimed more at the constitutional portrayal of the Presidents when faced with challenging situations during the course of their term. It should be an ideal reference book for teachers and students of political science and constitutional law and should serve as a springboard for further research in this area. Written in a simple language, study of biographical essays, included in this book, should also encourage the younger generation to follow the path of excellence pursued by the distinguished Presidents.
