Define Question hour and zero hour in the indian parliament?

Answer 1

Question Hour is the first hour in India's Lok Sabha devoted to questions. During this hour members can raise questions about any aspect of administrative activity.

Dictionaries describe a Zero Hour as "the hour at which a planned, especially military operation is timed to begin"; "a crucial moment";1 "a time set for the beginning of an attack'; "a decisive or critical time";2 "a time when a vital decision or decisive change in the course of events is impending; crisis; the time set as a basis for reckoning the time of day" 3 It is, however, used in a special sense in the parliamentary parlance in India inasmuch as 'real action' begins in the House at that hour! In that sense, Zero Hour may be defined as the interregnum between the end of Question Hour and the beginning of the regular listed business in the House. In other words it is the time which begins at 12 o'clock after Question Hour which is from 11.00 a.m. to 12.00 noon. Although euphemistically called Zero Hour, it may not last for an hour; it may last for some time which may be half-an-hour or more or less. Sometimes it may also occupy full one hour or may even extend beyond an hour, depending on the number of matters which members may like to raise and the gravity and importance of such matters. It is also not necessary that there would be a Zero Hour every day during the session.-
