[edit] Help deciphering Subhashini Ali?

The article Subhashini Ali consists of a list of what appear to be past and present Indian government officials. Anyone have any idea what this article is trying to communicate? I know there is a former MP by that name as well as an actress. They should probably have an article at that name but I'm trying to find out what the creator's intent was in putting up this list. Thanks for any insights! Demi ^T/_C 07:39, 10 November 2005 (UTC) FYI, it looks like the same content appears at Travancore sisters. Demi ^T/_C 07:41, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Andaman has a high court?

The list in the article misses the Andaman and Nicobar islands. Which high court has jurisdiction over them? Anwar 21:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC) The Jurisdiction of Kolkatta(Calcutta) extends upto the Andaman and Nicobar Islands i.e Kolkatta high court has the juridiction over Andaman & Nicobar islands.

[edit] Holding a portfolio?

From the page: "Any minister holding a portfolio must be a member of either house of parliament." Can anyone explain this phrase "holding a portfolio" to someone unfamiliar with Indian or parliamentary government? It might help to explain it in the article if it might be helpful to others as well. 24.155.88.186 22:46, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] proportional representation

I believe there is an inaccuracy regarding whether indian legislators are elected to the Lok Sabha via proportional representation. I believe they are elected via a first past the post system. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.36.68.201 (talk) 06:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
