General knowledge

The three organs of government are the legislature (makes laws), the executive (carries out laws) and the judiciary (interprets laws); India's Union legislature is Parliament (the President, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha); six states have a bicameral legislature (with a Legislative Council).
