Rajya Sabha

I always felt that Rajya Sabha (RS) is being used as a backdoor to get politicians who lost either Lok Sabha (LS) or Vidhaan Sabha (MLA) elections. I mean Rajya Sabha is used as a political fiefdom. This must change for the better.

We could use Rajya Sabha to allocate seats to citizens who have devoted their life for the betterment of the country viz. scientists, teachers, engineers, doctors, social entrepreneurs etc. We need to encourage people from different walks of life and professions to take up politics as a career. This would change the demographics of politicians in our country. I mean Rajya Sabha could do with few non-politicans who have dedicated their life to nation building.
