Citizens of a state enjoy full civil and political rights as guaranteed by the constitution. Our Indian Constitution provides for only one citizenship, meaning that India does not recognize dual citizenship for its citizens. An Indian citizen who is residing outside India and holds an Indian passport is called a Non-Resident Indian or NRI. All people have a right and responsibility to practice civic duties, which include participating in democratic processes, obeying laws, and contributing to society. Global citizenship is an idea enabling young people to access and participate in shaping modern society by recognizing their role as citizens of the world and encouraging them to engage with global issues and communities.
It is false that the USA has a single citizenship; the USA recognizes multiple forms of citizenship and immigration status. An OCI cardholder does not have voting rights in India; this is false because OCI status is granted to persons of Indian origin living abroad and does not confer voting rights in Indian elections. Citizens of India can enjoy Fundamental Rights guaranteed by the constitution, which is true; these rights are enshrined in Part III of the Indian Constitution and include rights to equality, freedom, and protection against exploitation. It is false that nationality can be changed while citizenship cannot be changed; both nationality and citizenship can be changed under certain circumstances, though the processes and conditions differ.

The Constitution of India prescribes three ways of losing citizenship: renunciation, termination, and deprivation. Part III of the Constitution of India prescribes the loss of citizenship through these mechanisms. A person can change nationality by acquiring citizenship of another country. A person cannot change citizenship directly; citizenship is lost or acquired through specific legal processes defined by the constitution. Non-Resident Indian refers to an Indian citizen residing outside India and holding an Indian passport. Person of Indian origin refers to individuals who are descendants of Indian citizens or have Indian ancestry. An OCI cardholder is granted the right to live in India and conduct business. A non-citizen residing in a country is called an immigrant. An alien is a person granted permission to work permanently in a country. These categories represent different statuses of individuals in relation to citizenship and residence in a country.
There are two types of citizens, Natural and Naturalised citizens.
Natural citizens: are the citizens by birth.
Naturalised citizens: are the one who acquires citizenship.

This act is to provide for the acquisition and termination of Indian citizenship. The citizenship Act of 1955 prescribes five ways of acquiring citizenship. They are by birth, descent, registration, naturalisation, and incorporation of territory.
1. Renunciation:
(is a voluntary act) when a person after acquiring the citizenship of another country gives up his/her Indian citizenship.
2. Termination:
(takes place by operation of law) When an Indian citizen voluntarily acquires the citizenship of another country; he/she automatically ceases to be an Indian citizen.
3. Deprivation:
(is a compulsory termination) Citizenship is derived on the basis of an order of the Government of India in cases involving the acquisition of Indian citizenship by fraud, false representation, or being disloyal to the Constitution.
A person born in India on or after 26th January 1950 but before 1st July 1987 is a citizen of India by birth irrespective of the nationality of his parents.
A person born in India on or after st July 1987 is considered a citizen of India only if either of his parents is a citizen of India at the time of his birth.
Those born in India on or after 3rd December 2004 are considered citizens of India or one of whose parents is a citizen of India and the other is not an illegal migrant at the time of their birth.
