Kashmir

POK, Azad Kashmir and Kashmir all are different.

vkvora 02:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In International law, what is important is De Facto status and not De Jure status. Does Azad Kashmir have accredited diplomats to other countries and passports accepted by any country? Yes POK and Azad Kashmir are different but AK is still part of POK --- Skapur 19:58, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Houses of Parliament

This term refers to the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, not to the building.Wikwiki 01:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Indian Parliament consists of two houses - the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.

Is not the President also a part of the Parliament? Wikwiki 01:07, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, the President is not a part of the Parliament. In fact, The President shall not be a member of any house of the Parliament or the House of Legislatures of any State. Mittgaurav (talk) 20:19, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid you've misunderstood the question. The President is one of the three component parts of Parliament, in parallel with the structure of many parliamentary bodies within the Commonwealth. Here's Article 79 of the Constitution:

There shall be a Parliament for the Union which shall consist of the President and two Houses to be known respectively as the Council of States and the House of the People.

Andrew Gwilliam (talk) 00:30, 18 June 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha

The houses are called officially Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha and their English translations are put in brackets. I am making the change in the infobox. Sumanch (talk) 01:40, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Location of Parliament

The opening paragraph states that the Parliament of India is "located at Mew Delhi". Now technically speaking, this is incorrect. The parliament is a body and is not located anywhere. It is the Sansad Bhavan which is located in New Delhi. Consider correcting this. --Mihirmodi (talk) 10:37, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Lawmaking procedure in India with Parliament of India

I propose that it would be apt to merge Lawmaking procedure in India with Parliament of India. It will make the Parliament of India article more interesting and it will allow the reader to know about the functioning of the parliament at one place. It may enable this article achieve a good article status in the near future. Kindly put forward your comment for and against the proposed merger.-- R.Sivanesh ^{✆ ©} 20:22, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. Lawmaking is done at state level too, plus some subjects are concurrent while others are clearly only for states to legislate upon. Parliament is not the sole stakeholder in the creation of laws in India. AshLin (talk) 21:41, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong disagree, Parliament is only part of the process even in the central lawmaking procedure. Pretty much everything has to go through Cabinet committees before being tabled in Parliament. That's a reason to improve the other article, not merge it here. —SpacemanSpiff 21:48, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Add a "lawmaking" section here and link it to the other article using the main temple. That should solve the problem of presenting the "lawmaking in parliament" part to the reader.--Sodabottle (talk) 12:18, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have better idea: merge that article into Politics of India: India has a President, Prime Minister, and Supreme Court, not just a legislature.--RM (Be my friend) 02:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw the proposal to merge.-- R.Sivanesh ^{✆ ©} 04:05, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup regarding the parliament building and the parliament.

The difference between the parliament building(Sansad bhavan) and Parliament are not being brought out clearly. The history section speaks about the history of the building rather than the history of the parliament. Further even recently a user has added the central hall as a component of the parliament. Infact the central is a part of the parliament building and not the parliament. So I suggest that we either move the contents related to the parliament building into a new section or create a new article for the parliament building. Kindly pour in your suggestions.- R.Sivanesh ^{✆ ©} 05:44, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the largest trans-national democratic electorate in the world

Since when is de Indian Parliament transnational? I think that it is wrong--Mahetin (talk) 13:33, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
