I now come to my remaining amendments. I case my definition and the article, the substance of which I have given, are not accepted, I have suggested that, in the article proposed by the learned Doctor, the words “at the date of the commencement of this Constitution“, should be omitted. Then, in (a), after the words ‘who was born in the territory of India’, the words, ‘born of Indian parents’ should be added, and in (c) the words ‘at least’ should be added before the words ‘five years’. I would like the word ‘five’ to be altered to twelve so as to make it necessary for anybody to obtain citizenship by residence in India for that period.
