The Parliament symbolises that the people of India make laws for themselves as both the houses of the Parliament have citizens of India as their members.
- Lok Sabha — The Lok Sabha is the House of the People. Its members are directly elected by the people of India.
- Rajya Sabha — The members of Rajya Sabha fall into two categories - nominated and elected. The 12 nominated members are nominated by the President from among persons having special knowledge or practical experience in matters such as literature, science, art and social service. The remaining 238 representatives of each State in the Rajya Sabha are elected by the elected members of the Legislative Assembly of each State in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote.
