Well whenever a question of governance comes, there should never be any debate on the male-female front. In my opinion, its the maturity level, the leadership quality, the educational background and the ability of an individual to connect herself/himself with the masses are the ones to be considered.
Pratibha Patil must have had the capabilities to be nominated in the first place, and once she has, its now the responsibility of our ministers to judge her on above qualities with her counterpart . We all had a example of Late Mrs.Indira Gandhi in front of us , who had been one of the finest Prime Minister India has ever produced. Not only in politics, we have good female leadership in other spheres also, be it Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Shahnaz Hussain or Naina Kidwai all have proved more than worthy of their respective positions .So, it all narrows down to one's ability and maturity to handle a position.
