Legislative Council of India

The Legislative Council of India, also known as the Rajya Sabha at the national level, is the upper house of the Parliament. It plays a crucial role in reviewing and revising proposed laws, representing states and union territories. Members are not elected directly by the public; some are elected by state legislatures, and others are appointed for their expertise in various fields. The Council ensures diverse perspectives in legislation and acts as a check on the lower house, the Lok Sabha, helping to balance power in the country's democratic system.
