Acknowledgments 12 This report is the outcome of a research partnership between the Centre for Public Interest Law (CPIL) at Jindal Global Law School, Sonipat (JGLS) and the Faculty of Law, Université Catholique de Lille. This research would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of various individuals and agencies. We appreciate the opportunity provided to us by Ioannis Panoussis, Mohsin Alam Bhat and Valentina Volpe through the aegis of this partnership, to whom we express our sincere gratitude. We are grateful to our distinguished advisors – Amal de Chickera, Ioannis Panoussis, Niraja Gopal Jayal and Ravi Hemadri – who provided us with important insights on the initial drafts of the report and aided us in navigating the law concerning statelessness. We must equally thank our commentators – Andrea Marilyn Pragashini Immanuel, Angshuman Choudhury, Ashna Ashesh, Carly A. Krakow, Darshana Mitra, Jessica Field, Sagnik Das, Suraj Girijashanker and Thibault Weigelt – for painstakingly reviewing the report and sharing their detailed analyses to ensure our arguments were airtight. The passionate engagement and contribution of our Research Supervisor, Aashish Yadav, must be mentioned. Not only did he coordinate and supervise the entire research process, but he also led our brainstorming sessions, provided round-the-clock guidance, and structured our findings. We are likewise grateful to our Research Director, Mohsin Alam Bhat, for providing overarching support and legal expertise to conduct this study. We must also thank many of our professors at JGLS and Lille who extended guidance at the initial stages of our study.
