PRATIBHA PATIL IN NEW DELHI

Indian president nominee Pratibha Patil, 72, waves upon her arrival in New Delhi, India, June 16, 2007. India's governing coalition chose a woman as its presidential candidate Thursday, setting the stage for her to become the country's first female president. The post is largely ceremonial, though the president is the supreme commander of the armed forces and has the power to declare a state of emergency in times of political crisis.
