Hi,

You may get a citizenship if one of the following holds true:

a person of Indian origin who is ordinarily resident in India for seven years before making an application for registration;

a person of Indian origin who is ordinarily resident in any country or place outside undivided India;

a person who is married to a citizen of India and is ordinarily resident in India for seven years before making an application for registration;
minor children of persons who are citizens of India;

a person of full age and capacity whose parents are registered as citizens of India by ordinary residence in India for seven years;

a person of full age and capacity who, or either of his parents, was earlier citizen of independent India, and has been residing in India for one year immediately before making an application for registration;

a person of full age and capacity who has been registered as an overseas citizen of India for five years, and who has been residing in India for one year before making an application for registration.

Also dual citizenship is not supported. So you may have to give up ur current citizenship.

All the best. And do update the thread if you get it. May help some of my friends here.
