Talk:Rajya Sabha

House of Lords

In terms of the History of the Rajya Sabha was there not once an upper house consisting of maharajas &c? - a sort of House of Lords?

I see that numbers have been stacked up according to alliances... somethings are wrong(parties supporting UPA from outside). I think its better to have numbers partywise... what say guys? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prateekramachandra (talk • contribs) 06:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

upper limit 250

as per schedule 4 total numbers are 233 and 12 nominated it makes it 245 then why it is said that number of seats in rajya sabha is 250.

defacto veto power?

The article is vague on how voting happens when the two houses sit together, but if I understand it, each member gets one vote. In this edit I changed the article so instead of describing this as 'veto' power by the lower house, it is merely 'greater' power for the lower house.

It is easy to imagine legislation that barely passes the lower house, but is overwhelmingly opposed in the upper house. In this case, the upper house would prevail in a joint sitting. So describing the situation as 'veto' power isn't really right.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 08:17, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
