Parliamentary System

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Refers to the system where the executive is responsible to the legislature. India’s adoption of the parliamentary model from Britain includes features like collective responsibility of the Council of Ministers to the Lok Sabha and the Prime Minister as the head of government. The President is the constitutional head, while real power lies with the elected majority. This framework encourages accountability, as the government can be dissolved if it loses majority support. Debates revolve around efficiency, stability, and frequent disruptions in Parliament. Nonetheless, the system ensures public control over governance through periodic elections and daily legislative scrutiny.
