Exam answer
The President of India is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. He appoints the Chiefs of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force, and declares war or concludes peace — subject in every case to the approval of Parliament and to the advice of the Council of Ministers.
Explanation
One mark for the office. Adding what the position actually involves shows understanding rather than recall. The constitutional reality worth a phrase: like all the President’s powers, this is exercised on the advice of the Council of Ministers — he is the nominal, not the real, commander.
