Hi Terry! I have little knowledge of the fine points of Indian politics, but I did find the following info regarding the President of India. "The prime minister of India is the one with real power. The president is an ornamental head, similar to the king or queen of England." "The post is long on prestige if not power, so the president's election is a useful statement for political parties..........Since the ruling party is accused of being pro-Hindu, electing a Christian or a Muslim to the top position would be politically expedient." wired.com Based on the above, the fact that the POI is a Muslim probably does not hold significant meaning for peace between Hindus and Muslims. Warm regards, THC
