Solution:

• Indian Citizenship Act of 1955 does not give Indian citizenship to children of diplomatic personnel born in India on or after 26 January 1950

• The Indian legislation related to this matter is The Citizenship Act, 1955, which has been amended by the Citizenship (Amendment) Acts of 1986, 1992, 2003, 2005, 2015 and 2019.

• The 1986 amendment restricted citizenship by birth to require that at least one parent had to be an Indian citizen.

• The 2003 amendment further restricted that aspect by requiring that a parent could not be an illegal immigrant.

• The 2003 amendment also mandated the Government of India to construct a National Register of Citizens.

• The 2019 amendment provided an easier path to citizenship for minorities persecuted on the basis of religion, i.e Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsi and Christians from the neighbouring Muslim-majority countries of Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan who entered India before December 2014
