Indian Government

The Government of India is officially known as the Union Government, and also known as the Central Government. It was established by the Constitution of India.

The government is integrated by three branches: the executive, the legislative and the judiciary.

The executive branch: The President is the head of State and she exercises her power directly or through officers subordinate to him. The president is Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil, she is the first woman to have been elected.



The President of India is the head of state and the prime minister is the head of government and exercises most of executive functions. The prime minister was selected by the President. The executive is the president, vice president and the Council of Ministers headed by the prime minister. In the Indian parliamentary system, executive power is subordinate to the legislature, the Prime Minister and his Council are supervised directly by the parliament.




The Legislative branch or the Parliament, it is the supreme legislative body of a country. Parliament is formed by the President and the two Houses: Lok Sabha (House of the People) and Rajya Sabha (Council of States).

Lok Sabha: It is the body of representatives of the people. Its members are directly elected, normally once in every five years by the adult population who are eligible to vote. The present membership of Lok Sabha is 545. The number is divided among the different States and Union Territories.



Rajya Sabha: It has no more than 250 members. Members of Rajya Sabha are not elected by the Legislative Assemblies of the various States. No member of Rajya Sabha can be under 30 years of age. Twelve of Rajya Sabha members are nominated by the President from persons who have earned distinction in the fields of literature, art, science and social service. Rajya Sabha is a permanent body and there are at present 245 members.



The main function of both the Houses is to make laws. The principal Union subjects are Defence, Foreign Affairs, Railways, Transport and Communications, Currency and Coinage, Banking, Customs and Excise Duties.

The Judicial branch is formed by the Supreme Court, 21 High Courts, and numerous civil, criminal and family courts at the district level.

India´s Economy

India is a country that is currently part of the BRIC block, therefore it can become one of the most economically important countries in the future.

From the 1950s to the 1980s, the economy of India had followed socialist tendencies. The economy was paralyzed by rules and regulations imposed by the government, protectionism and public property, which led to widespread corruption and slow economic growth. It was in 1991 when the national economy became a market economy.

¡¡ G'day Everyone.. Australia Is Here !!

Australia is a country in which we can appreciate the relationship between culture, geography, history and economy in a very different way from the other countries of the world.

The UN (United Nations) chose Australia as the second best country to live in because the access to education is high, a high life expectancy in people and the crime in the country is very low.

Australia was a British colony, for this reason it has the same language and form of government and justice. It's a country with an excellente system of education, health and social security; for those reasons it is one of the least insecure countries in the globe.

Because of is historical formation, Australia is a nation of immigrants. This has led her to also become a tolerant multicultural society with complete rejection of racial discrimination, for that reason they enjoy the interaction with foreign people.

As a country being surrounded by water, people are very in touche with the nature and sports, always enjoying the beautiful beaches that offers this island and we definitely can't forget about the kangaroos and koalas, Australia is what they call home.

¡¡ The country of surfing, long summers and multiculturalism.. this is Australia dinky di !!
