The responsibility entrusted to the Speaker is so onerous that she cannot afford to overlook any aspect of parliamentary life. Her actions come under close scrutiny in the House and are also widely reported in the mass media. With the televising of proceedings of Parliament, the small screen brings to millions of households in the country the day-to-day developments in the House making the Speaker's task all the more important.
Even though the Speaker speaks rarely in the House, when she does, she speaks for the House as a whole. The Speaker is looked upon as the true guardian of the traditions of parliamentary democracy. Her unique position is illustrated by the fact that she is placed very high in the Warrant of Precedence in our country, standing next only to the President, the Vice-President and the Prime Minister. In India, through the Constitution of the land, through the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha and through the practices and conventions, adequate powers are vested in the office of the Speaker to help her in the smooth conduct of the parliamentary proceedings and for protecting the independence and impartiality of the office. The Constitution of India provides that the Speaker's salary and allowances are not to be voted by Parliament and are to be charged on the Consolidated Fund of India.

There is no such post of the 'Speaker' in the 'Rajya Sabha' of India. Traditionally The Hon. Vice President of India executes the function as The Chairman of the Rajya Sabha (Council of States, regarded as the Upper House of the Indian Parliament).

Rajya sabha.
Council of States is the name of Rajya Sabha in English.
in several instances, the role of the Rajya Sabha has been reduced to an irrelevant adjunct of the Lok Sabha. While this may not have been the intention of the constituent assembly, the Rajya Sabha, as this article argues, needs to be recast in the light of present-day imperatives.
Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are the two houses of the Indian government. The Rajya Sabha meets continuously, while the Lok Sabha does not.
