@ Zia Khan
The right answer is Council of states. Rajya sabha is in Hindi. Few more corrections please note. (vii) The Bill of Rights became part of US constitution in the year 1789. (vi) How many US Presidents actually faced impeachment? Only one, that is Bill Clinton, however the impeachment failed. The other one was Nixon but he resigned before actually facing impeachment. So the answer is one. (xiv) The Indian Government at national level is called the Union government. (xv) The Prime Minister of India is elected by the parliament. He has to get the vote of confidence. President only asks the candidate who commands the majority. President can't nominate anyone. (i) What is the constitutional title used for the British head of State? Its monarch. Crown is an institution, Monarch is an individual. Crown is immortal, Monarch is mortal.

@ Adil Memon.
Bill of Rights became part of US constitution in 1791. You r right. But the Indian Prime minister is elected by the parliament. President can't appoint anyone of his choice. Only the candidate who can win the vote of confidence from the house will be appointed by the president. If president appoints a candidate whose party has 3 votes in the house he can't become prime minister. So it's the parliament to decide, president only has to ask the majority party candidate to take vote of confidence. Parliament has the real power. If the P.M. loses the confidence in the house he is no more P.M. So President has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's election. And the Indian government at the national level is called Union government. No confusion abt it. Check the Indian Constitution (federal system of India). Everything will be clear.
