Question

The maximum number of Anglo Indians who can be nominated to the Lok Sabha are ___________.
A. three
B. two
C. five
D. four

Answer 1

Hint: We have to remember that the Lok Sabha is also known as House of the people which is the lower house of India’s bicameral parliament with the upper house of the Rajya Sabha. The Lok Sabha is organized by negotiators of people chosen by explicit election on the rationale of Universal Adult Suffrage. We must know that The Lok Sabha is organized by negotiators of people chosen by explicit election on the rationale of Universal Adult Suffrage and they hold their posting up to 5 years or until dissolved by the President.

Complete answer:
We must know that presently, the strength of the House is $545$ members and as it is discerned that out of the absolute strength of the House, two members are presumed to be designated by the President from the Anglo-Indian Community. However, times have changed so far.

The utmost strength of the House is $552$ members- States are epitomized by $530$ members, Union Territories are exemplified by $20$ members and the $2$ members are nominated by the President from the Anglo-Indian Community. Currently, the members of the House are $545$.

As we know that the duration of the Lok Sabha, unless dissolved, is five years from the date nominated for its first summit. Nonetheless, while a declaration of emergency is in operation, this term may be augmented by Parliament through legislation for a duration not surpassing one year at a time and not prolonging in any case, beyond a period of six months after the declaration has discontinued regulating.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: We must remember that in January $2020$, the Anglo-Indian withheld seats within the Parliament and State Legislatures of India were repealed by the 104th Constitutional Amendment Act, $2019$. The justification brought up by the Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad who inaugurated the Bill in the Lok Sabha is that the Anglo-Indians population in India was just $296$ in the $2011$ Census of India, though the figure is doubted.
