Indirect election to the Rajya Sabha applies which democratic principle in a different way?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Representation through elected State Legislative Assemblies

Correct answer: A. Most elected members of Rajya Sabha are chosen indirectly by the elected members of State Legislative Assemblies. Citizens elect their state legislators, and those legislators then elect representatives to the Council of States through the prescribed voting method. Thus, popular representation is connected through an intermediate elected body rather than through a direct vote by every citizen for each Rajya Sabha candidate. This arrangement gives the states a voice in the Union legislature. Option B is wrong because India is a republic, not a kingdom. Option C is wrong because judges do not elect Rajya Sabha members. Option D is wrong because a foreign parliament has no role in selecting India’s legislators. Indirect election is not automatically undemocratic; it is a different method of democratic representation. Memory cue: Lok Sabha is directly elected by citizens; Rajya Sabha mainly represents the states through their elected assemblies.
