Scroll down to find out what the real Patil's about!

India is going to elect a new President -- her 13th since 1952 -- on July 19, 2007 . It is an indirect election, insofar as the President is elected not by the general electorate but by an electoral college comprising 776 Members of Parliament and 4896 Members of State Legislatures.

If the content of the Clip is offending to anyone, I'll gladly remove it!
