Explanation

Rajya Sabha representation is based on the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution, which allocates seats to states and union territories. The allocation is primarily proportional to population, though smaller states get some minimum representation. Equal representation applies to Lok Sabha seats from states, not Rajya Sabha.
