In India we follow the Parliamentary form of government where the members of the lower house (Lok sabha) are elected by the people of India, who form the Government in the Centre or federal government, similarly for various states we have legislative form of government where the members of the lower house or Vidhan Sabha are elected by the people of the state & these members form the state government. These very members even elect members for the Upper house (Rajya Sabha) of the Parliament in the centre. Now as far the election of the President of India is concerned the Constitution of India has given a procedure for his/her election according to Article 54 The President shall be elected by the members of an electoral college consisting of-
(a) The elected members of both Houses of Parliament; and
(b) The elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States.
[Explanation. In this article and in article 55, State includes the National Capital Territory of Delhi and the Union territory of Pondicherry.]
Thus we see that the elected members of the Parliament as well of the State legislature do this job for the people of India as they are the representatives of the People of India, in other words we can say the people of India are only electing the President indirectly through their representatives.

The President of india is elected by the electoral college which consists of all the Members of Parliament and Members of state legislative assemblies. however as these elected members invariably belong to some political party ; the party leaders have a big say in who should be elected as President.

Good question...; ruling political party is acting like a government... unlike a democracy…
