India Government

India's government is a federal parliamentary system, meaning authority is divided between a central government and individual states. The President is the ceremonial head, while the Prime Minister is the chief executive responsible for daily administration. The Parliament, composed of the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and Rajya Sabha (Council of States), makes laws. Governments at state levels mirror this structure. India’s democratic system emphasizes elected representatives, universal suffrage, and judicial independence, ensuring governance that reflects the will of its diverse population within a framework of constitutional law.
