How does the polity in India function

The political system in India functions under a federal parliamentary democratic framework. Here is an overview of how it functions:

India follows a dual polity system where power is divided between the central government and the state governments.
The President of India is the head of state, and the Prime Minister is the head of government.
The Parliament consists of two houses: the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and the Rajya Sabha (Council of States).
Members of Parliament are elected through a general election held every five years.
The Lok Sabha represents the people, while the Rajya Sabha represents the states and union territories.
The President appoints the Prime Minister, who selects the Council of Ministers to assist in the administration.
The judiciary, consisting of the Supreme Court and the High Courts, functions independently and interprets the laws.
The political parties play a crucial role in the functioning of the polity, with national and regional parties participating in elections and legislative processes.
The Election Commission of India oversees the fair conduct of elections at all levels.
India practices a multi-party system where coalition governments are often formed due to the diversity of political parties.

This is a basic overview, and there are many intricacies within each of these points.
