Question

Presently, how many Indian states have a bicameral state Legislature?

Answer 1

Hint:
- In government, the tradition of having two legislative or parliamentary chambers is bicameralism (bi, "two" + camera, "chamber").
- Thus, a legislature that consists of two chambers or houses is a bicameral parliament or bicameral legislature.
- Those with two assemblies, Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad, are Indian States with a bicameral state legislature.

Complete answer:
Actually, there are bicameral legislatures in seven Indian states, such as Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Bihar, Jammu-Kashmir, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, called legislative councils (Vidhan Parishad), one third of which are elected every two years, graduate constituencies (members elected exclusively by graduates), teacher constituencies (members elected exclusively by tea), and teacher constituencies (members elected exclusively by tea) (members elected exclusively by Mayors and council members of the city Governments).

Therefore, to conclude, there are 7 Indian states with bicameral legislatures- Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Bihar, Jammu-Kashmir, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, which means that they have 2 houses- Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad.

Note:
- Diarchy and Bicameralism are two different words which should not be confused with one another.
- Diarchy is a system of government in which two persons are joint heads of state ("diarchs"). It is one of the oldest forms of government: examples include ancient Sparta, Rome, Carthage as well as Germanic and Dacian tribes. Many diarchs hold their position for life, transferring the position to their children or other family members.
- Bicameralism, however, is the tradition of creating two legislative or parliamentary chambers in the country. Thus, a legislature that consists of two chambers or houses is a bicameral parliament or bicameral legislature.
