In every country, people can be categorized as- citizens or foreigners. The issue of citizenship is so important because citizens enjoy certain privileges and rights which are denied t foreigners or aliens.
In this country under Citizenship Act 1955, there are five modes of acquisition of citizenship:
1. Person born in India is a citizen by birth.
2. Person bon outside India but if parents are Indian, is a citizen by descent.
3. Residents of five years can apply citizenship by registration.
4. Foreigners can apply for naturalization o the Government.
5. If a new territory becomes a part of India, the residents will acquire the citizenship.
