Notes:

Under the Constitution, the Parliament of India consists of three parts viz, the President, the Council of States and the House of the People.

In 1954, the Hindi names ‘Rajya Sabha’ and ‘Lok Sabha’ were adopted by the Council of States and the House of People respectively.
The Rajya Sabha is the Upper House (Second Chamber or House of Elders) and the Lok Sabha is the Lower House (First Chamber or Popular House).
The former represents the states and union territories of the Indian Union, while the latter represents the people of India as a whole.
