I think there must be some qualifications or we can say criteria for Indian politicians to enter in politics. I think we are making democracy our weakness, due to the very liberal laws related to democracy and our constitution illegal elements like criminals, dons etc are becoming politicians to make their illegal operations covered and give benefits to their illegal activities. Most of the political parties in India have more than 60% of politicians with criminal background now who will ask them why criminals are ruling us?
So i think there must be qualifications for the politicians and also the age limit should be implement and there must be retirement age for politicians. Rather than that i would also like to recommend one more thing and that is the ministeries in government should be handled by the experts of that ministry not by the politicians who don't even are aware about that ministry. Its not compulsory that we must have politicians from army background politicians can be I.S officers, big corporate personalities, Managers, a common man with a clean record and most imp teachers of IIMS IITs.

politician need not neccessarily be from army background but they should have proper educational background. a person coming from army as country leader has its pros and cons. and we have been witnessing this in one of the countries from the world

Qualifications are important for politicians. But, when we say politics.. how much of us (Students) are involved in politics.. I think not even 10% of us would have been member of any political organisation.
Students, professionals play important role in elections, making right candidate win. Right elected candidates can only make the required legislations. Kindly note, what we elect are our representative in the Lok Sabha. All new laws are made in lok sabha. If right people are not elected, then how will the resolution pass?
So people should Vote rather than ignore the rights they have to elect correct people

The below is the only criteria for becoming President of the USA as per their law:
Eligibility
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications one must meet to be eligible to the office of President. A President must:
be a natural born citizen of the United States;[6]
be at least thirty-five years old;
have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.
Under the Twenty-second Amendment, no eligible person can be elected President more than twice. The Twenty-second Amendment also specifies that if any eligible person who serves as President or Acting President for more than two years of a term for which some other eligible person was elected President, then the former can only be elected President once. Scholars disagree whether anyone no longer eligible to be elected President could be elected Vice President, pursuant to the qualifications set out under the Twelfth Amendment.[7]
The Constitution also disqualifies other eligible persons from the Presidency. Under Article I, Section 3, Clause 7, the Senate has the option, upon conviction, of disqualifying convicted individuals from holding other federal offices, including the Presidency.[8] Also, Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits any eligible person who, having sworn an oath to support the U.S. Constitution, and later rebelled against the United States, from becoming President, unless each house of the Congress has removed the disqualification by a two-thirds vote.
May I further point out that neither of the last 3 Presidents have been in the military? The generation previous to Bill Clinton, viz. George Bush Sr did happen to have military experience because the U.S. Govt. of the time had introduced compulsory military service during both WWII and the Vietnam War.

The politicians should have a retirement age it is sad to see a leader of the biggest democracy unable to stand up.They should also meet a minimum educational standard so that the basics are met. However i feel that it is the IAS guys who should be put through compulsory military training as these are the persons who prepare all decisions pertaining to the nation to be passed by the politicians

I think, every indian should compulsary undergo the army training and serve the country for atleast 1 year when he/she is in the college.
Regarding how it is in US , I am unaware. But I would not opt for an option that asks people to have an army background before they enter politics. Yes, I agree, those junta will be filled with passion for the country and they will strive for the development of our country. But then, there have been leaders who have produced remarkable results for the country without any such background.
Say, there is a very genuine chap who, after getting well settled in life wants to join politics so that he can contribute well for the country. If he is told that " You will have to join the army and get trained" to work for the people, and if that guy is so adamant that he wants to work for the people, he might just work for a small section of his local people without involving himself in any politics. A leader could be lost.
All said, I understand that we need to have a screening system. May be some thing like an IAS. Say, some thing like Indian Institute Of Political Science exam. Still there would be people who would try to break the system . But obviously, nothing can change overnight. We need to work on it. I have a feeling that a lot of anti-social activities will be driven out in the years to come. People are being more aware. If it is because of the political chaos that one feels is eating up this country that we want to resort to getting people with army background, I feel we are betting a little too much in that regard.
