Highlights

Foreigners seeking citizenship of India-Once granted citizenship do they enjoy all rights of natural born Indians or perhaps only those that are reciprocally enjoyed by Indians granted citizenship in their country of origin? – Can a naturalized citizen have the same commitment and loyalty to India as a born citizen generally is expected to have?

Quotations for  Consideration

• “The test of good citizenship is loyalty to the Country.” – Bainbridge Colby.
• “Each one of us, by virtue of being born in this Country ,took an unwritten oath to uphold the integrity of the Nation” – Shiv Khera.

Key Concepts

• Reciprocity – A Foreign citizen, taking Indian citizenship, can have no greater rights in India than those allowed to an Indian citizen on taking citizenship of that foreign country.
• Why argue about the legal rights of a Foreign born citizen to occupy certain key posts in our government when the question is really about the perception of their commitment and loyalty to India.
