India does not have a Senate. The Senate is a legislative body typically found in federal systems of government, where it represents the interests of the states or regions. In India, the upper house of the Parliament is called the Rajya Sabha, which is not equivalent to a Senate. The Rajya Sabha represents the states and union territories of India, but its powers and functions are different from those of a Senate.

Explanation

India has the relatively equivalent "House of the People" instead of a House of Representatives. This term implies that the members of this house are representatives of the people of India, emphasizing the democratic nature of the country's political system. The term "House of the People" suggests that the house represents the diverse population of India, including men and women from all backgrounds and communities, rather than being exclusive to a specific group or gender.

The Constitution bans the caste system which defines social status and position. This system is a hierarchical social structure that categorizes individuals into different castes based on their birth, determining their occupation, social interactions, and opportunities. The Constitution of a country plays a crucial role in ensuring equality and social justice for all citizens. By prohibiting the caste system, the Constitution aims to eliminate discrimination and promote a society where individuals are not judged or limited by their social status or position.

Explanation

A "no-confidence vote" is a parliamentary procedure where members of the legislative body express their lack of confidence in the prime minister or government. If a majority of the members vote against the prime minister, it can lead to their removal from office. This mechanism allows for a democratic check on the prime minister's leadership and ensures accountability in the government. The other options provided do not accurately describe the process of removing a prime minister from office.

The president may have a role in the selection process, but ultimately it is the Parliament that has the authority to choose the vice president.
