S.C. Kashyap has in his article, ‘The Father of Parliamentary Democracy in India’ quoted what Nehru had said in Lok Sabha on 28 March 1957: We chose this system of parliamentary democracy deliberately. We chose it not only because to some extent, we had always thought on those lines previously, but because we thought it was in keeping with our own traditions, not the old traditions and new surroundings… The system of parliamentary democracy embodies principles of change and continuity.
