    In simple words can someone explain to me why in some countries Prime Minister has the power, whereas, in other nations President holds the most powerful position? Example: In Pakistan the President has the power while in India the Prime Minister has the power?

    		Countries with prime ministers have a king or queen e.g Australia has Queen Elizabeth and so does India (the commonwealth) wear as Pakistan and USA don't.

    		Not necessarily so. Very simply, presidents, like kings, can be executive or ceremonial. Note too that India does not have QE II as head of state. There is a president. http://presidentofindia.nic.in/
