In the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, the term "Republic" specifically denotes a nation with an elected head of state. India's republican status is manifested through its President, who serves as the head of state and is selected by an Electoral College comprising elected members from both Houses of Parliament and State Legislative Assemblies.
