Trends in Indian Citizenship Renunciation: A Closer Look at Numbers and Government Initiatives

The upsurge in Indian citizens renouncing their citizenship has become a notable trend, with over 87,000 individuals making this decision by June 2023. Impressively, this number climbs even higher when considering the 17.50 lakh Indians who relinquished their citizenship since 2011.

Why the Surge in Citizenship Renunciations?

The Ministry of External Affairs attributes this trend to an increasing number of Indians exploring global opportunities and seeking personal convenience abroad. Motives such as improved job prospects, advanced education, and a desire for an enhanced quality of life play pivotal roles in this choice.
