For context, India requires 12 years of lawful residence before naturalization. Is it an injustice that I have to wait so long to be a citizen of India?

- rtpg 11y agoThere's a difference between citizenship and permanent residency. Becoming a permanent resident is mainly about not having to worry about immigration status anymore, but doesn't necessarily give you the same civil rights (namely with voting or running for office).
- falsestprophet 11y agoAs far as I can tell permanent residency in India is only available to persons of Indian origin or former citizens of India.
