How is the political system in India structured
This question aims to test the understanding of the political system in India, including its structure and components.
The political system in India is structured as a federal parliamentary democratic republic. Here is a point-wise breakdown:
- India has a President as the head of state, a Prime Minister as the head of government, and a Council of Ministers to aid in governing.
- The Parliament consists of two houses: the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and the Lok Sabha (House of the People). The Rajya Sabha represents the states and territories, while the Lok Sabha represents the people.
- India follows a multi-party system, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress being the two major political parties.
- Each state in India has its own government, with a Chief Minister as the head. The state legislature comprises a Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) and a Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) in some states.
- The President is elected by an electoral college, while the Prime Minister is elected by Members of Parliament.
