>Parliament on Monday passed a bill to grant dual citizenship >to persons of Indian origin. >The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2003, will enable both >Bharatvasis and Bharatvanshis to contribute together to the cause of >India's development", Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand >Advani said while replying to a short debate on the legislation, which >was earlier adopted by the Upper House. Perhaps the above references to Bharatvasis and Bharavanshis may clarify Cornel's inquiry? India is named on the passports as "Bharat Ganarajya" (Republic of India) and hence Bharatis may have been coined by some genius on goanet to designate Indian citizens?
