There are no options to select now defunct countries/states. You would state current nationality and state that another nationality was held by parent, if there's the option, input a free-form answer. It's probably unlikely it has any impact on the application. My understanding as to why parents' details are required is to ensure that applicant is not already British through their parents. Other members may comment in more detail, especially the aspect of British India.
