New Delhi:The Indian BJP government has revealed that 2,06,378 Indians renounced their citizenship in 2024, continuing a trend seen over the past several years.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the Indian Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh shared this information in the Lok Sabha,stating that although some people are concerned about the trend, the reasons for renouncing citizenship are personal and can differ from person to person.<\/p>\n

Citizenship Renunciation on the Rise<\/p>\n

A comparison over the past decade shows a clear rise in the number of people giving up Indian citizenship during the BJP rule in India.<\/p>\n

In 2011, the figure was 1,22,819, and by 2014, it was 1,29,328.<\/p>\n

From 2020 onwards, the numbers increased significantly:<\/p>\n

2020 \u2013 85,256
\n2021 \u2013 1,63,370
\n2022 \u2013 2,25,620
\n2023 \u2013 2,16,219<\/p>\n

This sharp rise reflects factors like increased global mobility, better career prospects abroad, and changing lifestyle preferences.
\nGovernment\u2019s View on the Indian Diaspora<\/p>\n

The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized that Indians living abroad should be seen as a strategic asset.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s knowledge-driven world, overseas Indians contribute to global business, investments, innovation, and culture.<\/p>\n

The Government data shows the global Indian population is 3,43,56,193, which includes:<\/p>\n

1,71,81,071 Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs)
\n1,71,75,122 Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)<\/p>\n

This wide global presence highlights India\u2019s influence in sectors like technology, healthcare, business, and education.
\nWhy People Renounce Indian Citizenship<\/p>\n

Though the Indian BJP government does not provide official reasons, experts suggest key factors include:<\/p>\n

Better job and business opportunities
\nHigher quality of life abroad
\nEducational prospects for children
\nEasier international travel
\nLaws in some countries that don\u2019t allow dual citizenship<\/p>\n

In many cases, people are required to surrender their Indian passport when they accept another nationality in the country they like to stay and business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
