Letters Dual citizenship
The Union Cabinet decided to grant dual citizenship to the NRIs living in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. Other European countries with significant communities of Indian origin, such as France, Germany and Portugal, have been excluded, even though they permit their citizens to hold dual citizenship. Equally strangely, Belgium, which is home to Gujarati diamond merchants, has been excluded. These days, the European Union acts more and more like a single country. As Indians who have visited the EU recently would have noticed, all border controls between them have been removed, (with the exception of UK and Ireland) and a single visa permits non-EU citizens to travel from one EU State to another. The Cabinet's decision is illogical and hard to follow. Why have important EU countries been ignored? D. Saxena France
