General knowledge
In the Indian Parliament a starred question needs an oral answer and allows supplementary questions, while an unstarred question gets a written answer.
भारतीय संसद में starred question का उत्तर मौखिक रूप से दिया जाता है और उस पर पूरक प्रश्न पूछे जा सकते हैं, जबकि unstarred question का उत्तर लिखित रूप में दिया जाता है।
