Description: The right to nationality is essential to facilitating the actualisation of all other fundamental human rights. While International law provides that all persons have the right to a nationality, States still retain the right to determine how nationality is acquired. This article discusses the problem of statelessness in the Indian context by examining its citizenship laws and how it actually produces stateless persons in India. Although India is not a state party to the key Conventions on Statelessness, it is bound to other international conventions which creates obligations for India to cooperate in its prevention and reduction of the phenomenon. Thus, the article suggests ways in which India’s nationality laws could be improved to bring it in line with the international legal framework on statelessness.
