Why is Rajya Sabha called the Council of States?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it is a forum for representation of states

Correct answer: A. Rajya Sabha is called the Council of States because it represents the States and, in the Indian federal system, provides them a voice at the Union level. Its members are elected by the elected members of State Legislative Assemblies, using the constitutional method of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote; some members are nominated for special knowledge or practical experience. A is correct because the central idea is representation of States in Parliament. B is wrong because Rajya Sabha is not a chamber only for municipalities. C is wrong because its members are not directly elected by Gram Sabhas. D is wrong because it is not a House exclusively for judges. The name reminds us that national law-making should also consider State interests. Memory cue: Rajya means State; Rajya Sabha is the States' chamber.
