#1: I am a post August 15 1947 baby having been born on 2 August, 1947. #2: Therefore I am not 'Indian' but 'subcontinental Indian' if at all, a tribe of sorts, if you may. ===COMMENT Dear Floriano, I will consider the posting in #1 as a typo, and merely substitute the prefix "pre" where you have it as 'post'. It also depends where you were born. Place of birth, most often, is crucial to the accordance of nationality and/or visa. For instance, if you were born on August 16, 1947 but in Pakistan, August 16, 1947 in Bombay or December 18, 1961 in Moira ....would all have different significance for nationality ..... The basic question (repeat): What does the author mean by the term 'Indian' ..... and on what basis? Then the other questions. Is it not so? jc just for info, I can legitimately call myself a Goan of Indian origin who had and has reaffirmed Portuguese nationality (pre-and post Dec 19, 1961 respectively)
