India Is Cancelling OCI Cards for Critics? What the Indian Diaspora Must Know

Did you know that India can cancel your right to enter the country just for criticizing the government? Yes, India gives millions of people Overseas Citizen of India status, which is a lifelong visa. But lately it's been used as a weapon. Back then, Professor Natasha Kaul, a British citizen and academic, had her OCI card suddenly been canceled. The reason? Anti-India activities. No evidence or no specific incident to support that, but just the criticism of the government was enough to cancel her OCI card. She is not alone in this race. Over 120 OCI cards have been cancelled in the recent years, mostly affecting those of journalists, academics, and activists. Nearly half in just one year ago has been cancelled.
