List of Speakers of the Lok Sabha

The Office of the Speaker holds a pivotal position in our parliamentary democracy. While the members of Parliament represent the individual constituencies, the Speaker represents the full power of the House itself. He or she signifies the dignity and control of the House over which he/she is leading. Therefore, the holder of this Office of great pride has to be one who can represent the House in all its manifestations.

The responsibility consigned to the Speaker is so demanding that he/she cannot afford to overlook any perspective of parliamentary life. His/Her actions come under scrutiny in the House and are also widely communicated in the mass media. With the televising of proceedings of Parliament, the small screen delivers to millions of households in the nation the day-to-day advancements in the House, making the Speaker’s responsibility all the more critical.
