Why did India adopt parliamentary form of government??

Dear student,

The reasons why India adopted parliamentary form of government are- 

1. Familiarity with the System - The parliamentary system had been in operation in India during the British rule. After this experience, it was questioned why should we go back and buy a novel experience
2. Preference to More Responsibility -​​​​​​ Dr B R Ambedkar pointed out in the Constituent Assembly that ‘a democratic executive must satisfy two conditions: stability and responsibility. Unfortunately, it has not been possible so far to devise a system which can ensure both in equal degree.
3. Necessity to Avoid Legislative and Executive Conflicts -​​​​​​ Presidential government has conflicts between the legislature and the executive. Also an infant democracy could not afford to take the risk of a continuous conflict or threatened conflict between these two organs of the government.
4. Nature of Indian Society - India is one of the most heterogeneous and complex plural societies in the world. Parliamentary system offers greater scope for giving representation to various section, interests and regions in the government. This promotes a national spirit among the people and builds a united India.

Regards.
