It's central to the functioning of India's democratic system. UPSC often asks about the effectiveness of Parliament, challenges to its functioning, and the quality of legislative processes, which are directly impacted by the state of deliberation and consensus.
Parliament, as the supreme legislative body, is designed to be a forum for extensive deliberation, debate, and critical examination of proposed legislation and national policies, aiming to build broad consensus across political spectrums for effective governance.
