"Method of Election of the president’ in the Indian Constitution has been borrowed from

The method of election of the President in the Indian Constitution has been borrowed from the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland.

In India, the President is elected by an electoral college consisting of the elected members of both houses of Parliament (Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha) as well as the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States and Union territories. This method involves a system of proportional representation through a single transferable vote, which is similar to the voting system used in Ireland.

This borrowing reflects the framers' intention to establish a democratic process for electing the head of the state while ensuring that the principles of proportional representation are maintained, thereby representing the will of the people effectively across diverse regions. This system seeks to balance the representation among various states and the central government while ensuring fairness in the election process.
