Why are Rajya Sabha members not directly elected by the people?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it is a House representing the states

Correct answer: A, because the Rajya Sabha represents the states and Union Territories in Parliament. Its members are generally elected indirectly by the elected members of the State Legislative Assemblies, rather than directly by all voters. This arrangement gives the states a voice in national law-making and reflects the federal character of India. The Rajya Sabha is therefore called the Council of States. A is correct because it explains the purpose of indirect election. B is wrong: people do vote in elections, but they do not directly vote for most Rajya Sabha members. C is wrong because the Rajya Sabha debates laws, represents states, and performs important legislative and constitutional functions. D is wrong because the Lok Sabha does not remove or dissolve the Rajya Sabha; the Rajya Sabha is a permanent House. Memory cue: Lok Sabha means direct people’s mandate; Rajya Sabha means representation of states.
