I wish to start a new thread on INDIA Dual Citizenship. Listed below are few resources for those interested:
1. January 9 Annoucement:
http://www.indiaday.org/dual-citizen.htm
2. Current View of INDIAN Consulate on Dual citizenship:
http://www.cgihouston.org/Indian_services.htm
"Indian Citizenship Law Does Not Provide For Dual Citizenship and, accordingly, it is illegal for a person to possess an Indian Passport once he/she becomes citizen of another country. It may therefore, be noted that on becoming citizen of any other country (including US), the holder of an Indian passport should return the same to the nearest Indian Consular post (Embassy/Consulate). The Indian passport will be stamped "acquired US nationality" and returned to holder. Please send the Indian passport with covering letter and a self addressed stamped envelope for this purpose."
3. May 9th statement on Dual Citizenship
http://www.cgihouston.org/PressReleaseDualC.html
4. Dual citizenship by December: Advani
June 13th release in Chicago
http://www.rediff.com/news/2003/jun/13lka.htm
5. Statement as of Sep 2003 by Indian Embassy
http://www.indianembassy.org/consular/index.htm
" Dual Nationality
September 2003
Prime Minister of India has announced the provision of dual nationality to the Persons of Indian Origin. The modalities are under process and our web site will be updated on this as and when instructions are received from Government of India. The status on dual nationality remains unchanged as on date."
If anyone has more info or other conversation/ideas/discussions then please post it here.
