Again, registration of births is mandatory after 87 or so. Even if you don&#039;t have records yourself, government will have records. If parents on the electoral rolls in 2003 and your birth has been registered then you are good to go.]]></description>

RNJ: STOP commenting on my threads. Don&#039;t waste either your own or my time. 

Any comments from you will be summarily deleted. 

It is very rude to keep butting in into a space where you have been repeatedly told you are not wanted.

Yeah procedural issues with no actual aggrieved parties is why the law fare is not reaching anywhere. Without standing SCOTUS would not have entertained a single petition for even 5 minutes.]]></description>

The Hindu link you posted talks about births not being registered in Bihar for 2 years in 97 and 98. 
If your parents were on the electoral rolls before 2003 then that is considered as proof of citizenship of parents. The hilarious examples that brown mentioned are due to people trying to use this loophole. 
 given the scale of exercise, why are there no aggrieved people approaching the courts for having incorrectly lost their voting rights. All the litigation has been about procedural issues.]]></description>

The home ministry is on record saying it does not have criteria for citizenship.

This is made all the more strange when so much of our citizenship depends on being the children of citizens and there is no document thst says that our parents are citizens!!

Owasi is not an arbiter of truth and besides without the opposition going to the supreme court and arguing against removing aadhar, the results in bengsl would have been a lot worse especially since many people in bihar have parents who themselves lacked proper documentation.]]></description>
