Via Rediff, NRIs may get voting rights. [NRI here means those who hold the Indian passport.]
This is great news, one we've long championed and directly lobbied for. Kudos to the Government.

Thank you very much for your very generous comments.
BTW, we completely agree with you on the dual citizenship issue. The whole idea is deeply flawed, as you point out so well.
Having said this, Indians who reside overseas and have retained their citizenship by choice (like this blogger) should indeed have the ability to vote. Hopefully, we'll get this soon.
Best regards.
Right on, airrahul! The proposed system is also flawed because it only applies to PIOs of certain countries. Why is that? I guess some 'Indians' are more equal than other 'Indians'. This is a bad idea and needs to be corrected, but I wonder if the vested interests involved are just too well connected (as opposed to ordinary citizens like yourself).
