Hello friends,

Indian Polity refers to the structure, principles, and functioning of the political system of India. The Constitution of India, which came into effect on January 26, 1950, lays down the framework for the country’s political system. It is a federal parliamentary democratic republic with a President as the head of state and a Prime Minister as the head of government.

The Indian political system is based on the principle of separation of powers among the three branches of government: the Legislature, the Executive, and the Judiciary. The Legislature consists of the Rajya Sabha (Upper House) and the Lok Sabha (Lower House), which together form the Parliament of India. The Executive comprises the President, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Council of Ministers, who are responsible for implementing laws and policies. The Judiciary includes the Supreme Court, High Courts, and subordinate courts, which are responsible for interpreting and enforcing the laws of the land.

India follows a multi-party system with several political parties, including the Indian National Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party, and several regional parties. Elections are held at regular intervals to elect members of the Parliament and state assemblies.

The Constitution of India guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms to all citizens, such as freedom of speech and expression, equality before the law, and the right to life and liberty. It also lays down the Directive Principles of State Policy, which are guidelines for the government to promote social, economic, and political justice for all citizens.

Overall, the Indian political system is complex and diverse, reflecting the country’s history, culture, and social fabric.
