How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Rajya Sabha members from States are elected indirectly by elected MLAs, not by the public.
- Elections to the Rajya Sabha from States use proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote.
- The President nominates 12 members to the Rajya Sabha for special knowledge or practical experience in literature, science, art and social service.
- The Rajya Sabha is a permanent House and is not subject to dissolution.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS2 (Polity): Rajya Sabha's indirect election reflects its federal role as the House representing States. Article 80 and the STV system give parties seats in proportion to their Assembly strength, helping minority representation but also shaping party-driven choices. The way forward is debate on transparency, such as the open ballot and the residency question, to keep the Council of States truly federal.
