Detailed Solution & Logic
Article 8/ अनुच्छेद 8
📘 Explanation
Article 8 of the Indian Constitution deals with the citizenship rights of people of Indian origin residing outside India.
It states that a person of Indian origin living in another country can register as an Indian citizen if:
- They (or their parents/grandparents) were born in India (as defined in Government of India Act, 1935), and
- They register themselves at an Indian diplomatic mission (embassy/consulate) in that country.
👉 So, Article 8 provides a way for overseas Indians to claim Indian citizenship.
अनुच्छेद 8 भारतीय संविधान में भारत के बाहर रहने वाले भारतीय मूल के व्यक्तियों की नागरिकता से संबंधित है।
इसमें कहा गया है कि:
- यदि कोई व्यक्ति या उसके माता-पिता/दादा-दादी भारत में जन्मे हों, और
- वह व्यक्ति विदेश में रहते हुए भारतीय दूतावास में पंजीकरण कराए,
तो वह भारतीय नागरिकता प्राप्त कर सकता है।
