Why don't you answer the specific questions asked of you (on exactly how and when you got BOC) in a previous thread if you want some meaningful advice?fakira wrote:indiancitizenship law is clear,the moment i acquired a british overseas citizenship ,i lost my indian one automatically
so where do i stand?
Well, I'd put this down to misunderstanding, a misinterpretation of the relevant laws, or just plain poor communication between the British and Indian authorities, rather than frank deception.fakira wrote:if this is not deception then what do you call it?The effect of this is that a number of individuals that we believed to be dual British/Indian nationals are in fact solely British.
Have you thought about a career in politics? You have uncanny ability in avoidance and obfuscation.fakira wrote:thanks very much for your understanding.i agree and highly appreciate your comment.i have to admit a lot of mistrust and suspicion in meWell, I'd put this down to misunderstanding, a misinterpretation of the relevant laws, or just plain poor communication between the British and Indian authorities, rather than frank deception.
anyway i kind of understand that perhaps that a lot needs to be done to pull down barriers .i do not know the british too well but many indians tend to be ultra nationalists,a view i disagree with.i feel that one must make the effort to communicate.this does not in any way depreciate ones own patriotism and sense of national pride
it is very sad for me that the president of india mrs pratibha patil referred to the indian mutiny of 1857 in her inaugral speech
i for one dont like to be a prisoner of the past
Yes, but it ALL depends on the circumstances, I can't give a general answer without knowing all the facts.fakira wrote:amanda
in your experience have you come across a case where this law has led to successful full british citizenship
thanks for your viewpoint it has been corroborated by others

Too right (-:John wrote:
Two other solicitors? I think that calling a barrister a solicitor is, well, not going to go down too well!
So it seems the following is the case:fakira wrote: i got british overseas citizenship thro an agent from the british embassy mumbai
i was born in kenya in what was british east africa
my parents were born in goa(portuguese india) prior to 19/12/1961
i got the boc in 2004
all potuguese citizens automatically became indian following the annexation of goa by india on 19/12/1961.
it was cancelled by the indian embassy at aldwych for reason "acquired british nationality" in august
i am in britain on a c-visit visa on my cancelled indian passport
finally what is the meaning of obsfucating?
Basically, a barrister acts to represent people in a higher court, whereas a solicitor does office-based law; if a person needs a barrister for a court appearance, the person's solicitor will usually be involved in briefing the barrister.fakira wrote:avjonesi am sorry, i did not know that before i am still confused what is the diffence between a solicitor and a barristerSolicitors and barristers also have the advantage of being trained lawyers, and having 5 or 6 years of academic and vocational training before they are qualified.
