House of Lords
In terms of the History of the Rajya Sabha was there not once an upper house consisting of maharajas &c? - a sort of House of Lords?

 * No, the upper house was called Council of State. Although a type of privy council existed during the British Raj it was called Chamber of Princes but it was not an upper house. It merely served as an executive board of advisors to the Viceroy of India.

Member Composition
I see that numbers have been stacked up according to alliances... somethings are wrong(parties supporting UPA from outside). I think its better to have numbers partywise... what say guys? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prateekramachandra (talk • contribs) 06:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

upper limit 250
as per schedule 4 total numbers are 233 and 12 nominated it makes it 245 then why it is said that number of seats in rajya sabha is 250.

defacto veto power?
The article is vague on how voting happens when the two houses sit together, but if I understand it, each member gets one vote. In this edit I changed the article so instead of describing this as 'veto' power by the lower house, it is merely 'greater' power for the lower house.

It is easy to imagine legislation that barely passes the lower house, but is overwhelmingly opposed in the upper house. In this case, the upper house would prevail in a joint sitting. So describing the situation as 'veto' power isn't really right.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 08:17, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Number of elected members 233 or 234 ?
The number of elected members should be 233 and the number of nominated members should be 12 (source). However some tables in the article add up to 234 elected members? --Furfur &#8258; Diskussion 19:23, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Footnote
Could someone add a footnote to the 'Membership by party' section, mentioning that 2 nominated members, Navjot Singh Sidhu and Subramanian Swamy have accpeted the BJP whip, and count towards the BJP? Ranban282 (talk) 10:11, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Territories
Do the members appointed by the President, since they are not members with respect to any particular Union State, have any particular responsibility toward the interests of the residents of Union Territories, since these persons otherwise have no one looking to their interests in the upper chamber? 2600:1004:B16C:7721:A407:3104:73B4:C7A1 (talk) 01:32, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Remove the Powers section of the article
The entire article has a lot of information but cites no real information. The unref section template is used. However, I think it is better if we find actual sources and add them in or remove the section entirely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhijeetviswa (talk • contribs) 07:12, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

"Footnotes ^† Includes 8 nominated members taking the BJP whip" It is highly offensive comment against "President of India" who nominate these members. 2405:201:4008:9079:185:FC4A:4104:6C75 (talk) 13:44, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
