What is the difference between the terms 'prorogation' and 'dissolution' of the Parliament?
The terms 'prorogation' and 'dissolution' of the Parliament refer to two distinct ways in which a parliamentary session can be ended or terminated.

Prorogation is the formal end of a parliamentary session by the President, after which no further proceedings can take place until the next session begins. It is temporary and does not affect the life of the government or parliament itself. Bills pending in Parliament during prorogation do not lapse; they continue to remain before the House for further discussion or passage when the new session begins.

Dissolution, on the other hand, refers to the end of the entire term of the Lok Sabha (the lower house of Indian Parliament). It is a permanent end to the parliamentary session and results in fresh elections being held for the formation of a new government. When the Lok Sabha is dissolved, all Bills pending before it lapse and must be reintroduced if they are to be considered again.

In summary, prorogation refers to the temporary end of a parliamentary session, while dissolution refers to the permanent end of an entire term of the Lok Sabha.
