This is the point I am trying to make. Governments the world over make citizenship laws that they simply cannot enforce. The Indian government for example quite simply has no way of knowing when one its citizens takes up the citizenship of another country. It relies entirely on the honesty of its (ex-) citizens to tell them when they have done so.I guess it still doesn't get away from the point that the issuing of the Australian passport in 2000 wasn't because of the passport authorities intuitively knowing the 1996 decision was wrong, or "overturnable", but simply they did not know about it.
If I was in this situation I would do the following:Which brings us back to the original point - e.g. if one travels back to India on Indian passport and applies for UK passport from within India.
There is no such risk, either in theory or in practise. You are perfectly within your rights to move out of the UK once you are naturalised.therotically there is a risk that the person could loose the BC by violating the requirement making UK the principle home if naturalised.
Because as an Indian you should be proud of your heritage and should defy the Indian government's attempts to tell you what you can and can't do in terms of citizenship. If you are a born Indian NOBODY, not even the Indian government, should be able to take your Indian citizenship away regardless of how many other citizenships you hold. It's simply none of their business as far as I'm concerned.But using Indian passport after being naturalised elsewhere is a great risk and does confer any substantial benefits. Then why do that ?

Part of being proud of the heritage is obeying the law even if you don't agree with it and using democratic means of changing it.Dawie wrote: Because as an Indian you should be proud of your heritage and should defy the Indian government's attempts to tell you what you can and can't do in terms of citizenship.
