100%. Need clear separation of powers.
With direct elections for an executive President, who appoints the Cabinet of Ministers and sets government policy.
In parliament, the Speaker to be seen as the leader of the legislature. MPs responsible only for laws, amendments, repeals.
Westminster model is so bizarre that we elect legislators to form Executive Govts.

Most problems are due to interference of MLAs/MPs in governance who legally can't but people expect them to.
Hence, new model to elect Govts &MLAs/MPs separately has to evolve [avoiding US defects] https://t.co/Oyujk365IE

Dissolve the current states and upgrade 740 districts into elected Janapadas/Prefectures, to improve policy outcomes on the ground.
No more MLAs and DMs acting like local feudal lords. Bottom-up, accessible institutions.
Assign law and order, crime investigation, counter-terrorism to a new central police force, independent of executive. Like the armed forces, with parliamentary oversight.
Give each Janapada a system a decentralised system of courts and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, working in local languages and jargon-free.
The current unelected and unaccountable bureaucratic and judicial institutions suffer from a "democratic deficit" and are all designed to thwart any aspirations of the people that can challenge the status quo.
But in India, the police is not answerable or accountable to the local people whose lives and properties it is supposed to protect." - @MNageswarRaoIPS

Sri Lanka being an example, which enacted such reforms despite similar levels of religious diversity and colonial administrative legacy.
