A UK-based professor has claimed that her overseas citizenship was revoked due to accusations of “anti-India activities,” sparking a wave of discussion and concern. She says that despite her work in education and research, the citizenship cancellation came unexpectedly, leaving her confused and worried about her future. This case has brought to light the difficulties some overseas Indians face when political opinions or actions lead to government scrutiny. Many people are now talking about how freedom of speech and political views are handled for those living outside the country.
The situation has also raised important questions about how governments balance national security with individual rights. Supporters of the professor argue that while it is important for a country to protect itself, there should also be clear, fair, and open procedures before taking such serious steps. Critics fear that this might create an environment where people are afraid to speak freely or share their thoughts. This case shows the need for careful rules that respect both the safety of the nation and the personal freedoms of its citizens living abroad.
