    Birth Certificate for parents

    The birth certificate issued by the Indian consulate just states that the birth date is taken from passport. I am not sure it is of much value.

    This is an informal forum. Let us not do morality/thought policing. Let the rules and regulations be left to the moderators. Let us not jump on new comers who don't follow rigid guidelines. Let 1000 flowers bloom :)
