LARRDIS (L.C.)/2012 he © 2012 Lok Sabha Secretariat, New Delhi TIndian Parliament Editor T. K. Viswanathan Secretary-General Lok Sabha Published under Rule 382 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha (Fourteenth Edition). Lok Sabha Secretariat New Delhi Foreword In the over six decades that our Parliament has served its exalted purpose, it has witnessed India change from a feudally administered colony to a liberal democracy that is today the world's largest and also the most diverse. For not only has it been the country's supreme legislative body it has also ensured that the individual rights of each and every citizen of India remain inviolable. Like the Parliament building itself, power as configured by our Constitution radiates out from this supreme body of people's representatives. The Parliament represents the highest aspirations of the people, their desire to seek for themselves a better life. dignity, social equity and a sense of pride in belonging to a nation, a civilization that has always valued deliberation and contemplation over war and aggression. Democracy. as we understand it, derives its moral strength from the principle of Ahimsa or non-violence. In it is implicit the right of every Indian, rich or poor, mighty or humble, male or female to be heard. The Parliament, as we know, is the highest law making body. It also exercises complete budgetary control as it approves and monitors expenditure.

FOREWORD The Indian Parliamentary Group has recently celebrated the birth anniversaries of some eminent parliamentarians in order to reCjllI and recount their valuable and multifarious contributions to our national and parliamentary life. In pursuance of this endeavour, a new series known as the "Eminent Parliamenta- rians Monograph Series" was started in March, 1990 and three monographs on Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, Dr. Lanka Sundaram and Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee have been brought out so far.

  • Fifty Years of Rajya Sabha (1952-2002) Origin and History The
    Fifty Years of Rajya Sabha (1952-2002) Origin and history The demand for popular government and representative institutions such as Parliament remained central to our struggle for independence. The stalwarts of our epic fight for freedom and the founding fathers of our Republic had thus conjured up the vision of Parliament as the institutional embodiment of our democracy and sovereign authority of our people. The Council of States, the Second Chamber of the Indian Parliament, exemplifying that grand and challenging vision, was constituted in the year 1952. However, the origin of the idea for a Second Chamber can be traced to the "Montague-Chelmsford Report of 1919". In its proposals for Constitutional Reforms for India, the Report recommended the establishment of such a chamber which, of course, was not in consonance with the avowed objectives and spirit of democracy and bicameralism as are understood in political theory and practice. Translating the proposals of this Report into action the Government of India Act, 1919, as passed by the then Imperial Parliament, created the Second Chamber, the nomenclature of which was the Council of State and which did not reflect the federal features in true sense and was in many ways a truncated and deformed version of a Second Chamber prevailing then in many democracies. Based on restricted franchise and consisting of large number of members nominated by the Government, the Council functioned as a part of a calculated strategy to go against many of the decisions of the Central Assembly which was largely an elected House. The narrow and restricted conception of the Council was evident from the fact that women were neither given the right to cast their votes in the elections to the Council nor was they permitted to stand as candidates in such elections.

    CHAPTER—16 Obituary and Other References t is customary and usual to make obituary references in the House on the I demise of sitting members, Ministers, former members, outstanding and eminent personages, national leaders, men and women who have played an important role in the public life of the country and heads of governments of foreign and friendly States. Apart from these, references are also made in the House to major natural calamities or accidents or tragic happenings involving loss of life and property. Befitting the occasions, tributes are offered. Felicitations and laudatory references are also made on some outstanding achievements, significant events, commemorative days or solemn occasions in the House. (a) Obituary references General procedure Until 13 November 1972, obituary references on the passing away of members, Ministers, etc. used to be made in the House usually after the questions. In 1972, the General Purposes Committee considered the then existing practice in regard to the making of obituary references and adjournment of the House on the death of Ministers, sitting members, national leaders and other outstanding persons and made the following recommendations: (i) In the case of death of a sitting member of the Rajya Sabha, the existing convention of adjourning the House for the day if the death took place in Delhi, in order to enable the members to participate in the funeral or sending of the dead body from Delhi, might be continued. (ii) In the case of death of a Minister who, at the time of his death, was not a member of the Rajya Sabha, the House should be adjourned for the day, if the death took place in Delhi, in order to enable the members to participate in the funeral or sending of the dead body from Delhi.
