It is very useful for India as a whole. For a long
time, there have been considerations for introducing dual citizenship.
But, it has been decided that single citizenship is better.
Single
citizenship means Indian citizens cannot be citizens of another
country. Citizens of other countries can not take Indian citizenship. If
they could become dual citizens, India could progress from businessmen,
investors, scientists, and well wishers all over the world. This what
we expect. Also, the dual citizens can move freely in and out of India.
Also, foreign nationals cannot participate in elections, stand in
elections, become a government official or minister etc.
But for
the last many years India has been facing terrorism from other members
of other countries. In the business line too, India has faced partiality
and exploitation from external influences. India is envied by many
countries and there are forces to exploit India from economic and
security point of view. If citizens of other countries are allowed to
become MLA, MP, ministers and PM, imagine the impact on Indian economy,
security and future of Indian citizens. There were many instances where
people would exploit the benefits extended to them and misuse them.
Thus
Indian government chose to have single citizenship. For the benefit of
people of Indian origin, India introduced many facilities for their
movement and needs, so that they really do not need dual citizenship.
