ABSTRACT

Citizenship in India refers to the legal status of an individual as a member of the Indian State, with certain rights and responsibilities. The Citizenship Act, 1955 governs citizenship in India and has undergone several amendments over the years. Indian citizens enjoy various rights, including the right to vote, the right to work and live in any part of the country, the right to education, and the right to own property. Non-citizens in India do not have these rights and may be subject to restrictions on their movements and activities. The Indian Constitution guarantees equality before the law to all citizens, regardless of their religion, caste, gender, or ethnicity.
