The British constitution had many impacts on our country and one of the results was the adoption of a bicameral parliament. This simply means the presence of two houses &#8211; Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They act as the upper and the lower house respectively. The Rajya Sabha becomes the second chamber of the parliament that is responsible for representing the state and union territories of the nation. It protects their interest in case central tries to meddle with their matters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the place where the bill reaches the first before the president\u2019s approval. The maximum strength of the sabha is 250 people. And there are times when the seats remain vacant. The 4th schedule of the Indian constitution deals with the seat allocation of Rajya Sabha.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They have some important roles to play and have a separate election process.

It acts as the safety valve of the federal system of India. This helps to take off major load from the legislative extension of the government. It maintains the checks and balances scheme with the control of judicial review as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review and Revaluation Role<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The constitution\u2019s main idea to have an upper was to keep a check on the Lower house. In the case of controversial acts, the Rajya Sabha has the power to review and take a call. And they can also control authoritarianism by the majority party by being mind full of both the aspects of a decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Deliberative Body<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sabha also sees mass debate in case of major issues and thus becomes a deliberative body. This is an extension of the review and revaluation of the Rajya sabha.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Representing the Vulnerable Sections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vulnerable section of the society like &#8211; women, religious, ethnic, and linguistic minority groups often get sidelined in Lok sabha. Rajya sabha provides an equal representation of these sections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special Powers of Rajya Sabha<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transfer a topic from the State List to Union List &#8211; Article 249.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create additional All-India Services &#8211; Article 312.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Endorse Emergency under Article 352 for a limited period.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issues Related to Rajya Sabha<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The unequal representation of states. This is the reason why countries like the US, Australia are more successful as they provide equal representation to all states in the upper houses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are times when the Lok sabha passes bills in the name of Money bill raising the question of efficacy. Here the Rajya Sabha can only recommend and not amend. If they don&#8217;t send in their suggestions in 14 days, the bill gets approved. The Aadhaar Act of 2019 is an example of this. The sabha has very little say in the financial matters of the country.\u00a0 &#8211; <\/span><b>Money Bill<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An individual who doesn\u2019t belong to any state can not be a part of this sabha. And the bigger problem is the majority using seats to get their defeated Lok sabha candidates to the upper house. This undermines the Federal character of Rajya Sabha.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The member of the sabha has been showing low sincerity towards the decision-making process. The government often takes up a famous personality on board who doesn&#8217;t even take this process very seriously.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suggestions for Better Rajya Sabha Functioning<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The citizens of the country should elect the members of the Sabha.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduction in cronyism and patronage appointments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allow equal representation of the states.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better nomination procedure for quality discussion.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More representation of vulnerable sections.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important Rajya Sabha Facts<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rajya Sabha Election saw two major changes in 2003.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A candidate must be an elector to represent himself in the sabha was removed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An open ballot system was put in place instead of a secret ballot system.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rajya sabha is a continuing chamber and is permanent.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It does not have tenure and doesn\u2019t dissolve.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2153 of the members retire every second year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nomination for fresh elections takes place in the third year.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Representation of the People Act, 1951 allows issuing an order to retire representatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tenure of members is of six years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sabha meets in continuous sessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Indian constitution is an important polity topic for all sorts of exams.
