    Solution

    Article 102 outlines disqualifications for parliamentary membership, which include being of unsound mind, holding an office of profit (unless exempted), not being an Indian citizen, etc., and disqualifications under any law made by Parliament (Tenth Schedule). It does **not** include disqualifications under the Sixth Schedule, which pertains to tribal areas and local governance.
