Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Discusses the constitutional provisions for who is considered an Indian citizen at the commencement of the Constitution. The Citizenship Act of 1955 elaborates on acquisition via birth, descent, registration, and naturalization, alongside cessation and renunciation mechanisms. India endorses single citizenship for all, ensuring equal rights and responsibilities nationally rather than separate state-level citizenship. Amendments to the Act address evolving issues, such as overseas citizenship. The Supreme Court’s role in adjudicating disputes underlines the significance of citizenship in accessing fundamental rights and public offices. This topic is crucial for understanding how nationality intersects with constitutional guarantees and social inclusion.
