__TOC__

== Welcome to IndianPedia ==

IndianPedia is a collaborative encyclopedia. Anyone with an account can help improve the project by correcting errors, adding reliable sources, improving article structure, creating useful pages, and maintaining existing content.

'''You do not need to be an expert to make a useful edit.'''

The most important principles are:

* Write clearly and accurately.
* Use reliable sources.
* Keep a neutral point of view.
* Do not copy copyrighted material.
* Treat other contributors respectfully.
* When in doubt, discuss the issue before making a controversial change.

== Before making your first edit ==

Before editing an article, consider:

# Is the information accurate?
# Can it be supported by a reliable source?
# Is the information relevant to the article?
# Is the wording neutral?
# Am I copying someone else's copyrighted text?
# Would another contributor understand why I made this change?

For important or controversial subjects, take extra care with sourcing.

== Editing an existing article ==

Open the article you want to improve.

Depending on the editor available on IndianPedia, you may see:

* '''Edit''' — visual editing interface.
* '''Edit source''' — direct wikitext editing.

Make your changes and review the page before publishing.

Use the edit summary field to briefly explain what you changed.

Examples:

<pre>
Fixed spelling and grammar
</pre>

<pre>
Added source for population figure
</pre>

<pre>
Updated information from official government source
</pre>

== Creating a new article ==

Before creating a new article, search IndianPedia to make sure the subject does not already have an article.

A good article should generally:

* Have a clear subject.
* Contain useful encyclopedic information.
* Be written neutrally.
* Use reliable sources.
* Avoid promotional language.
* Meet IndianPedia's applicable notability requirements.

To create a page, use the search box and search for the desired title. If the page does not exist, follow the '''Create this page''' option.

You can also use:

[[Special:EditPage|Create a page]]

== Basic wikitext ==

IndianPedia uses MediaWiki markup (wikitext).

=== Headings ===

Use two equal signs for a section heading:

<pre>
== History ==
</pre>

A subsection uses three equal signs:

<pre>
=== Early history ===
</pre>

Do not use a single equal sign for normal article sections.

=== Bold text ===

Use three apostrophes:

<pre>
'''Important text'''
</pre>

Result:

'''Important text'''

=== Italic text ===

Use two apostrophes:

<pre>
''Italic text''
</pre>

Result:

''Italic text''

=== Internal links ===

Link to another IndianPedia article using:

<pre>
[[India]]
</pre>

You can display different text:

<pre>
[[Republic of India|India]]
</pre>

Result:

[[Republic of India|India]]

=== External links ===

External links can be written as:

<pre>
[https://example.com Example website]
</pre>

Use external links when they provide useful additional information.

=== Bullet lists ===

Use an asterisk:

<pre>
* First item
* Second item
* Third item
</pre>

=== Numbered lists ===

Use a hash:

<pre>
# First item
# Second item
# Third item
</pre>

== References and citations ==

Reliable sources are an important part of IndianPedia.

When adding factual information, provide a citation whenever appropriate.

A basic reference can be inserted using:

<pre>
<ref>Source information</ref>
</pre>

Then place:

<pre>
== References ==
<references />
</pre>

at the end of the article.

=== Example ===

<pre>
India became independent in 1947.<ref>Source title, publisher, date.</ref>

== References ==
<references />
</pre>

Whenever possible, use reliable sources such as:

* Government publications
* Official institutional websites
* Academic publications
* Books from reputable publishers
* Established newspapers
* Reputable news organisations
* Other reliable secondary sources

Do not cite search-engine results themselves as a substitute for the underlying source.

== Writing neutrally ==

IndianPedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view.

Avoid language such as:

<pre>
This is the greatest political party in India.
</pre>

Prefer:

<pre>
The party is one of India's major political parties and has formed governments at both the national and state levels.
</pre>

Avoid promotional claims such as:

* Best
* Greatest
* Number one
* World-class
* Revolutionary
* Unmatched

unless such wording is directly relevant and supported by reliable sources.

== Adding information about living people ==

Take particular care when writing about living people.

Avoid:

* Unsourced allegations
* Defamatory statements
* Gossip
* Private information
* Sensational claims
* Unverified social-media claims

Use reliable published sources and write biographies carefully and neutrally.

See [[IndianPedia:Policies and guidelines|Policies and guidelines]].

== Images and files ==

Only upload images and other media when you have a lawful basis to use them.

Before uploading a file, check:

* Who created it.
* Where it came from.
* Its copyright status.
* Its licence.
* Whether attribution is required.
* Whether IndianPedia permits its use.

See [[IndianPedia:Copyrights|IndianPedia's copyright policy]].

[[Special:Upload|Upload a file]]

== Templates ==

Templates can add consistent formatting and functionality to articles.

For example:

<pre>
{{Infobox officeholder
| name = Example
| office = Example office
| term_start = 1 January 2020
}}
</pre>

Do not modify an important template without understanding how it affects pages using that template.

== Categories ==

Categories help readers discover related articles.

Add relevant categories near the bottom of an article:

<pre>
[[Category:Indian politicians]]
[[Category:People from Assam]]
</pre>

Avoid adding unrelated or excessive categories.

== Article talk pages ==

Every article has a talk page where contributors can discuss improvements.

Use a talk page when:

* You disagree about an article's wording.
* You want to propose a major change.
* You need clarification about a source.
* An article has a neutrality or sourcing problem.
* You want to discuss a controversial edit.

Sign your discussion comments with:

<pre>
~~~~
</pre>

This automatically adds your username and timestamp.

== Edit summaries ==

An edit summary helps other contributors understand your change.

Good examples:

<pre>
Corrected spelling
</pre>

<pre>
Added government source
</pre>

<pre>
Expanded early life section
</pre>

<pre>
Removed unsupported claim
</pre>

Avoid vague summaries such as:

<pre>
Changes
</pre>

or:

<pre>
Fix
</pre>

when more information would be useful.

== Preview before publishing ==

Whenever possible, use '''Show preview''' before publishing an edit.

Check:

* Formatting
* Links
* References
* Templates
* Spelling
* Paragraph structure
* Categories
* Infoboxes

Previewing helps prevent accidental errors.

== Reverting mistakes ==

If you make a mistake, don't panic.

You can usually edit the page again and correct it.

If another editor makes a clearly unhelpful change, an appropriate revision may be reverted. However, repeated reversions can become edit warring.

For disagreements, use the article's talk page and seek consensus.

== What not to do ==

Do not use IndianPedia to:

* Advertise products or services.
* Promote a business.
* Publish personal attacks.
* Spread misinformation.
* Upload copyrighted material without a lawful basis.
* Publish private or sensitive personal information.
* Impersonate another person or organisation.
* Manipulate articles for political campaigning.
* Create duplicate pages unnecessarily.
* Add unsupported allegations.
* Use multiple accounts to manipulate discussions or evade legitimate restrictions.

== Getting help ==

If you need assistance:

* Ask on the relevant article's talk page.
* Visit the [[IndianPedia:Community portal|Community portal]].
* Review [[IndianPedia:Policies and guidelines|Policies and guidelines]].
* Contact an [[IndianPedia:Administrators|administrator]] for administrative matters.

For technical issues, include the affected page and describe what went wrong.

== Useful links ==

__TOC__

== Before contacting us ==

IndianPedia is a collaborative encyclopedia. Many questions can be resolved directly through the project's community and discussion pages.

Before contacting an administrator or the project team, consider:

* Checking [[IndianPedia:Policies and guidelines|Policies and guidelines]]
* Looking at the relevant article's talk page
* Checking [[IndianPedia:Community portal|Community portal]]
* Searching [[Special:Search|IndianPedia]]
* Reviewing [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]

== 💬 Article questions and discussions ==

For questions or disagreements concerning a specific article, use that article's '''talk page'''.

This allows other contributors to participate in the discussion and keeps the conversation associated with the relevant article.

'''Do not use private contact channels for ordinary editorial disagreements when a public article discussion would be appropriate.'''

== 🛡️ Vandalism, spam, and abuse ==

If you encounter vandalism, spam, harassment, disruptive editing, or another serious violation of IndianPedia policies, report it to an administrator.

You can contact an administrator through:

* [[IndianPedia:Administrators|Administrators]]

When reporting an issue, provide:

* The affected page.
* A link to the relevant revision or edit, if available.
* A brief explanation of the problem.
* Any relevant evidence.

Do not publish private information about another person.

== ⚙️ Technical problems ==

For problems involving the website, templates, page rendering, account functionality, broken links, or other technical issues, describe the problem clearly and include the affected page URL.

Technical reports are most useful when they include:

* Page name or URL
* Description of the problem
* What you expected to happen
* What actually happened
* Browser or device information, if relevant
* Screenshots, when useful

If personal or sensitive information has been accidentally published on a page, notify an administrator as soon as possible and avoid reposting the information in your report.

'''Official email:''' admin@indianpedia.org

Replace the placeholder above with an email address that is actually monitored by the IndianPedia team.

Readers should consult reliable primary and secondary sources when accuracy is important.

Do not make medical decisions based solely on an IndianPedia article.

In an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service or healthcare provider.

== Legal information ==

IndianPedia articles concerning laws, regulations, courts, legal proceedings, rights, or government procedures are provided for general information.

Laws and regulations can change and may differ between jurisdictions.

IndianPedia may contain information about governments, public officials, laws, regulations, public institutions, elections, political parties, and public policy.

Such information is provided for encyclopedic purposes and should not automatically be interpreted as an official statement by any government, political party, public authority, or institution.

Where official information is important, readers should consult the relevant government or institutional source.

== Historical information ==

Historical articles may describe events, people, places, movements, and interpretations that are disputed or subject to continuing scholarly debate.

IndianPedia attempts to present significant viewpoints fairly and to rely on appropriate sources, but readers should consult scholarly literature and reliable historical sources for detailed research.

== Biographies ==

Biographical information, particularly information concerning living people, should be interpreted carefully.

IndianPedia does not guarantee that every biographical detail is complete or current.

Potentially sensitive, controversial, or defamatory claims should be supported by reliable sources and handled according to IndianPedia's policies.

IndianPedia is a collaborative project, and content may be created or modified by registered and unregistered contributors.

Contributions reflect the responsibility of their authors and do not necessarily represent the views of IndianPedia, its administrators, or other contributors.

Administrative status does not automatically imply endorsement of a contributor's edits.

IndianPedia does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability of the website or its services.

IndianPedia makes reasonable efforts to improve the quality of its content, but no encyclopedia can guarantee complete accuracy or completeness.

Users should consider:

* The date an article was last updated.
* The quality and independence of its sources.

* Whether the subject is disputed.
* Whether additional authoritative sources should be consulted.

__TOC__

== Overview ==

IndianPedia respects the intellectual property rights of authors, photographers, artists, publishers, organisations, and other rights holders.

Contributors must not add copyrighted material to IndianPedia unless they have the legal right or appropriate permission to do so, or the material can lawfully be used under an applicable copyright exception.

'''When in doubt, do not upload or copy the material.'''

== Copyrighted text ==

Do not copy substantial portions of text from books, newspapers, websites, magazines, academic publications, or other copyrighted sources into IndianPedia.

Articles should be written in the contributor's own words and should not reproduce copyrighted sources.

Brief quotations may sometimes be appropriate when legally permitted and properly attributed. Quotations should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the purpose.

'''Changing a few words, translating copyrighted material, or rearranging sentences does not automatically make copied material acceptable.'''

== Sources and references ==

Sources may be used to research and verify information without copying their copyrighted expression.

For example, an editor may read a newspaper article, verify the facts, and then write an original summary in their own words while citing the source.

A citation does not by itself give permission to copy copyrighted material.

== Images and other media ==

Images, photographs, videos, audio recordings, graphics, maps, logos, and other media may be protected by copyright.

Before uploading media, contributors should determine:

* Who created the work.
* Whether the work is still protected by copyright.
* Whether it has been released under a suitable free licence.
* Whether permission has been obtained from the copyright holder.
* Whether a specific legal exception may apply.
* Whether the intended use complies with IndianPedia's policies.

== Free and openly licensed material ==

Where possible, contributors should use material that is in the public domain or released under a licence compatible with IndianPedia's applicable licensing requirements.

The licence and attribution requirements of the original creator must be respected.

Do not remove copyright notices, author information, licence information, or required attribution from material.

== Public domain ==

Material in the public domain may generally be used without obtaining permission from the copyright holder.

However, public-domain status can depend on the country, date of creation, publication history, authorship, and other circumstances.

Contributors should verify public-domain status before uploading material and should provide an explanation of why the material is believed to be in the public domain when appropriate.

== Permission from copyright holders ==

If you own the copyright in a work, you may be able to release it under a licence that permits its use on IndianPedia.

If another person or organisation owns the copyright, permission should be obtained from the copyright holder before using the work unless an applicable legal exception permits the use.

Permission should be sufficiently clear to establish:

* Who owns the copyright.
* What material is covered.
* What use is permitted.
* Whether modification and redistribution are permitted.
* Whether attribution is required.
* Whether commercial use is permitted, if relevant.

'''Permission to view or publish something on a particular website does not automatically mean that IndianPedia may copy or redistribute it.'''

== Attribution ==

When a licence requires attribution, contributors must provide the attribution required by that licence.

Where appropriate, media descriptions should identify:

* Author or creator
* Source
* Copyright status or licence
* Required attribution
* Other relevant licence conditions

== Fair dealing and other copyright exceptions ==

Some jurisdictions provide copyright exceptions such as fair dealing, fair use, quotation, criticism, review, reporting, education, or other limited uses.

The availability and scope of such exceptions vary by jurisdiction.

IndianPedia does not assume that a use is lawful merely because it is educational, non-commercial, informational, or available elsewhere online.

Where an exception is relied upon, contributors should document the legal basis and keep the use as limited as reasonably necessary.

== Logos, seals, and trademarks ==

Logos, seals, insignia, and trademarks may be subject to copyright, trademark, design, or other legal protections.

Their inclusion in an article does not necessarily mean that they are freely licensed.

Use such material only when there is an appropriate legal and encyclopedic basis for doing so.

== Screenshots ==

Screenshots from websites, software, films, television programmes, games, or other copyrighted works may themselves contain copyrighted material.

Do not upload screenshots simply because they can be easily captured.

The copyright status and legal basis for the intended use should be considered before uploading them.

== AI-generated content ==

AI-generated text, images, audio, or other material should not be assumed to be copyright-free.

Contributors are responsible for ensuring that material they submit does not infringe the rights of third parties and complies with applicable law and the terms of any source or generation service used.

Where the copyright status of AI-generated material is uncertain, contributors should use appropriately licensed or original material instead.

== Copyright violations ==

IndianPedia may remove material when there is a credible copyright concern.

If you believe that an IndianPedia page contains material that infringes copyright, provide:

* The affected page.
* The location of the allegedly infringing material.
* The original copyrighted source, if available.
* An explanation of the concern.

Do not post private correspondence, personal documents, or confidential information publicly.

== Removing copyrighted material ==

Editors should promptly remove clearly infringing material when identified.

Where appropriate, administrators may delete revisions containing copyrighted material so that the infringing content is no longer available through the page history.

Copyright concerns should not be used as a means of suppressing legitimate criticism or information.

== Reusing IndianPedia content ==

The rights and licence applicable to IndianPedia text and media depend on the applicable project licence and the individual work.

Before reusing IndianPedia content, check the licence information associated with the relevant page or file and comply with all applicable attribution and licence requirements.

'''Do not assume that every image or media file on IndianPedia is available under the same licence as article text.'''

== Contributor responsibility ==

By submitting content to IndianPedia, contributors represent that they have the necessary rights or legal basis to make the submission.

Contributors should not upload or publish material merely because:

* It appears on Google or another search engine.
* It is publicly visible online.
* Another website has published it.
* It has no visible copyright notice.
* It is old.
* It is being used for educational purposes.
* It is being used without charge elsewhere.

None of these facts, by themselves, establish that material is free of copyright restrictions.

== Copyright complaints ==

Copyright holders or their authorised representatives who believe that material on IndianPedia infringes their rights may contact IndianPedia through the project's designated contact channel.

Complaints should contain sufficient information to identify:

* The copyrighted work.
* The allegedly infringing material.
* The location of the material on IndianPedia.
* The complainant's contact information.
* The complainant's relationship to the copyright holder.
* Any other information reasonably necessary to evaluate the complaint.

IndianPedia may request additional information before taking action.

== Legal notice ==

This page describes IndianPedia's internal copyright and licensing practices. It is not legal advice and does not replace applicable copyright law.

Copyright law differs between jurisdictions and may change over time. Contributors are responsible for complying with applicable law.

Where IndianPedia policies conflict with applicable law, the applicable law governs.

New page

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Policies and guidelines}}

<div style="font-size: 110%; line-height: 1.6;">

'''Policies and guidelines''' are the principles and standards that help contributors create, improve, and maintain content on IndianPedia.

IndianPedia aims to provide reliable, neutral, well-sourced information about India, its people, history, culture, geography, institutions, and related subjects. Contributors are encouraged to be bold in improving articles while respecting the policies below.

__TOC__

== Core principles ==

=== Neutral point of view ===
Articles should be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV). Content should represent significant viewpoints fairly and avoid advocacy, promotional language, personal opinions, or political campaigning.

=== Verifiability ===
Information that may reasonably be challenged should be supported by reliable, published sources. Contributors should provide citations where appropriate.

=== No original research ===
IndianPedia is not a place to publish unpublished research, personal theories, private investigations, or conclusions that cannot be verified through reliable sources.

=== Reliable sources ===
Use sources with a reputation for editorial reliability. Depending on the subject, these may include books, academic publications, reputable newspapers, government publications, official institutional websites, and other established reference works.

== Article standards ==

=== Notability ===
Articles should cover subjects that have received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. IndianPedia is not intended to be a directory, advertising platform, or personal homepage.

=== Biographies of living persons ===
Information about living people must be handled carefully. Avoid defamatory, sensational, private, or poorly sourced claims. Content about living persons should be based on reliable sources and written conservatively.

=== Copyright ===
Do not copy copyrighted material into IndianPedia unless its use is legally permitted or the material is appropriately licensed. Text and images should be created by contributors, released under a compatible license, or used in accordance with applicable law and IndianPedia's licensing requirements.

=== Images and media ===
Images should have appropriate licensing information and attribution where required. Do not upload material that infringes copyright or violates applicable law.

=== Categories ===
Articles should be placed in relevant categories where appropriate. Categories should help readers navigate related subjects and should not be used excessively.

=== External links ===
External links should provide useful additional information relevant to the article. Links should not be added primarily for advertising, search-engine optimisation, or promotion.

== Contributor conduct ==

=== Assume good faith ===
Contributors should generally assume that other editors are trying to improve IndianPedia. Disagreements should be addressed through discussion and evidence rather than personal attacks.

=== Civility ===
Treat other contributors with respect. Personal attacks, harassment, threats, intimidation, and abusive behaviour are not acceptable.

=== Edit warring ===
Repeatedly reverting another contributor's edits without attempting discussion is discouraged. When disagreements arise, use article talk pages and seek consensus.

=== Conflicts of interest ===
Contributors should disclose relevant conflicts of interest and exercise particular care when editing subjects with which they have a personal, professional, financial, or organisational connection.

=== No impersonation ===
Do not impersonate another contributor, public figure, organisation, or official institution.

=== User accounts ===
Users should normally operate through their own accounts. Accounts must not be used to deceive, harass, manipulate discussions, or evade legitimate administrative actions.

== Administrative principles ==

=== Administrators ===
Administrators are trusted contributors with additional technical permissions. Administrative tools should be used to protect IndianPedia and its contributors, not to advance personal disputes or viewpoints.

=== Administrator accountability ===
Administrative actions should be reasonable, documented where appropriate, and consistent with IndianPedia policies. Administrators should avoid using their permissions in disputes in which they have a significant personal involvement.

=== Blocking ===
Blocks may be used to prevent disruption, harassment, vandalism, spam, abuse, or other serious violations. Blocks should not be used simply to silence disagreement or criticism.

=== Page protection ===
Page protection should be used when necessary to prevent disruption, vandalism, edit warring, or other legitimate risks to the encyclopedia.

=== Deletion ===
Pages may be deleted when they clearly violate IndianPedia policies, are unsuitable for the encyclopedia, are substantially duplicative, or otherwise meet the site's deletion criteria.

=== Abuse of administrative privileges ===
Misuse of administrative permissions may result in review, restriction, or removal of those permissions.

== Editing guidelines ==

* Write clearly, accurately, and objectively.
* Use reliable sources for factual claims.
* Avoid promotional and exaggerated language.
* Do not add defamatory or unsupported claims.
* Do not remove sourced information simply because you disagree with it.
* Use article talk pages to discuss substantial disagreements.
* Provide meaningful edit summaries when making significant changes.
* Correct mistakes when you identify them.
* Respect copyright and licensing requirements.
* Do not use IndianPedia to advertise products, services, organisations, or personal businesses.

== Dispute resolution ==

When contributors disagree:

# Discuss the issue on the relevant article's talk page.
# Explain the disagreement clearly and provide reliable sources.
# Seek a compromise consistent with IndianPedia's policies.
# Avoid repeated reversions and personal attacks.
# Request assistance from experienced contributors or administrators when necessary.

== What IndianPedia is not ==

IndianPedia is not:

* A social-networking site.
* A personal blog.
* An advertising platform.
* A political campaign platform.
* A directory of businesses or individuals.
* A place for defamatory allegations.
* A repository for copyrighted material without permission.
* A place for personal theories or unpublished research.
* A substitute for professional legal, medical, financial, or other expert advice.

== Policy versus guideline ==

'''Policies''' describe standards that contributors are expected to follow.

'''Guidelines''' provide recommended practices that help contributors work effectively and consistently.

Policies and guidelines may be updated as IndianPedia develops. Major changes should preferably be discussed with the community before implementation.

'''Administrators''' are trusted IndianPedia users who have been granted additional technical permissions to help maintain the project.

'''The Rajya Sabha''' (meaning "Council of States") is the upper house of the [[Parliament of India]]. It represents the states and union territories of India and also includes members nominated by the [[President of India]] for their contributions to fields such as literature, science, art and social service.

The Rajya Sabha is a permanent house and is not subject to dissolution. Members normally serve six-year terms, with approximately one-third of the members retiring every two years.

== History ==

The Constitution of India provides for a bicameral Parliament consisting of the [[Lok Sabha]] and the Rajya Sabha. The Rajya Sabha was constituted in 1952 following the adoption of the Constitution.

The first sitting of the Rajya Sabha was held on 13 May 1952.

The Vice President of India serves as the ex officio [[Chairman of the Rajya Sabha]].

== Composition ==

The Rajya Sabha can have a maximum of 250 members under the Constitution, including up to 238 representatives of the states and union territories and 12 members nominated by the President.

As of the current composition, the House has 245 seats:

* 233 elected members
* 12 nominated members

Members representing states are elected by the elected members of the respective State Legislative Assemblies using proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote.

== Term ==

The Rajya Sabha is a permanent chamber and cannot be dissolved.

A member of the Rajya Sabha normally serves a six-year term. One-third of the members retire every two years.

A person must meet the constitutional and statutory requirements for membership of the Rajya Sabha, including being at least 30 years old.

== Powers and functions ==

The Rajya Sabha participates in the legislative process of Parliament and considers bills passed by the Lok Sabha.

Money Bills have special constitutional rules: the Rajya Sabha cannot reject or amend a Money Bill and must return it to the Lok Sabha within 14 days with recommendations.

The Rajya Sabha also has certain special powers relating to the states. Under Article 249 of the Constitution, it can authorize Parliament to legislate on a matter in the State List in the national interest if the required special majority is obtained.

== Leadership ==

The [[Vice President of India]] is the ex officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.

The Deputy Chairman is elected by the members of the Rajya Sabha from among themselves.

The House also has a Leader of the House and a Leader of the Opposition.

== Elections ==

Rajya Sabha members representing states are indirectly elected by elected members of State Legislative Assemblies.

The election uses proportional representation through the single transferable vote system.

Twelve members are nominated by the President of India from among people with special knowledge or practical experience in literature, science, art and social service.

== Committees ==

The Rajya Sabha operates through a number of parliamentary committees. These committees examine legislation, government policies, expenditure and other matters referred to them.

Important committees include:

* Business Advisory Committee
* Committee on Government Assurances
* Committee on Petitions
* Committee on Privileges
* Committee on Rules
* Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committees
* Public Accounts Committee
