India's Overseas Citizenship Policy Faces Scrutiny Over Rights and Restrictions
Since 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has actively engaged the Indian diaspora, encouraging support for his initiatives. While many overseas citizens of India (OCIs) have embraced this, some critical voices have faced visa revocations and restrictions. The case of actor Imran Khan, an OCI cardholder ordered to leave India after protesting, highlights legal ambiguities around OCI rights. Indian laws grant privileges to OCIs but also allow broad state discretion to regulate their activities, raising concerns about freedom of expression and administrative transparency.
