Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
India provides single citizenship for the whole Union and recognises only one domicile, so Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is wrong because any citizen—whether by birth, descent, registration or naturalisation—can become President (Articles 58 & 62). Statement 3 is wrong because the Citizenship Act 1955 (Sections 10 & 11) permits deprivation of naturalised/registered citizenship on specified grounds such as fraud or disloyalty. Thus only Statement 1 holds. ([drishtiias.com](https://www.drishtiias.com/current-affairs-news-analysis-editorials/news-analysis/14-03-2024/print/manual?utm_source=openai))
