Military Leaders to Promote Meditation at Iowa Summit to Help Reduce Veteran Suicide Epidemic
Military Leaders Promote Meditation to Reduce Suicide
Epidemic Among Veterans
VA Funds Studies on PTSD; Iowa Summit to Showcase Benefits
Eighteen veterans commit suicide every day—
a horrific consequence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
More veterans die by suicide every year than are killed annually in Iraq and Afghanistan.
New York, NY — October 4, 2012: America's veterans and their families are turning to meditation to ease the trauma of combat and pave the way to a healthier life.
The David Lynch Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity founded by iconic filmmaker David Lynch to bring Transcendental Meditation to at-risk populations, will hold an Iowa Veterans Summit on Thursday, October 11, 2012 at the West Des Moines Marriott. A press avail will take place at 10:00 A.M., followed by the Veterans Summit from 1:00 P.M. to 2:30 P.M.
The Summit will present the research and clinical applications of Transcendental Meditation for reducing stress, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), substance abuse and suicide, depression and enhancing resilience and performance.
The Washington Post reported in May that the Department of Veterans Affairs, seeking new ways to treat PTSD, is studying the use of Transcendental Meditation to help returning veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Thousands of veterans have learned Transcendental Meditation. Research on veterans who meditate has shown that the technique not only reduces the psychosocial symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression, but also balances serotonin and norepinephrine, and regulates the sympathetic nervous system. Transcendental Meditation is used on the oldest private military campus, Norwich University.
Panelists at The Iowa Veterans Summit include: Dr. Richard W. Schneider, USCGR (Ret.), President, Norwich University; Jerry Yellin, World War II P-51 Fighter Pilot and National Co-Chair, Operation Warrior Wellness; Col. Brian Rees, M.D., Command Surgeon, 63rd Regional Support Command and Luke Jensen, Operation Enduring Freedom veteran and Operation Warrior Wellness (OWW)–Iowa Advisory Board Member. All panelists have extensive experience in using Transcendental Meditation.
Bob Roth, the Executive Director of The David Lynch Foundation, stated, "It is imperative that we help veterans and the brave men and women still in active-duty deal with the stress that stays with them long after they have returned home. Transcendental Meditation is a wonderful tool that can help those overcome the stress and anxiety from the theater of war, allowing them to lead healthier, more resilient lives."
Todd M. Jacobus, the Chair of the Iowa Commission of Veteran Affairs, also stated, "Reducing the number of suicides among our Army personnel and veterans today is a top priority of the Army community. Commanders and leaders at all levels of our U.S. Armed Forces are making efforts to remain engaged in the lives of our Soldiers in order to be responsive to their needs and issues, and to get them help. However, these efforts can't succeed without the involvement of the greater community, including programs like Operation Warrior Wellness, and the Resilient Warrior Program."
WHAT: Presentations will highlight program outcomes for active-duty military personnel, veterans, cadets and their families. Those invited include military and Veterans Affairs leadership, behavioral health officers, mental health professionals caring for veterans and their families, policy makers, medical researchers and educators.

A Transcendental Cure for Post-Traumatic Stress by David Lynch and Norman E. Rosenthal
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL OPINION JULY 13, 2011
A Transcendental Cure for Post-Traumatic Stress
One study of soldiers showed a 50% reduction in symptoms after eight weeks of meditation.
By DAVID LYNCH and NORMAN E. ROSENTHAL
War wounds come in many forms. Some are obvious, such as scars, gashes and amputations. Others, the psychological ones, are less visible but equally devastating. The numbers in this second group are staggering: The military's latest mental health survey of combat troops in Afghanistan found that 20%—one in five—suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
People with combat-related PTSD often suffer from periods of emotional numbness and depression that may coexist or alternate with intense anxiety and delusional thinking. Their days may be afflicted by flashbacks to traumatic situations. Their nights are often disrupted by sleeplessness and nightmares, from which they awake drenched in sweat as though back on the battlefield.
Yet most veterans with PTSD do not receive adequate treatment for various reasons, including fear of stigma, a dearth of effective treatments, and insufficient government resources. Gen. Peter Chiarelli, vice chief of staff of the U.S. Army, recently acknowledged that, "The therapies used for treatment of brain injuries lag behind the advanced medical science employed for treating mechanical injuries."
Clearly, there is a need for new, creative approaches: Transcendental Meditation, better known as TM, is a promising candidate. An ancient Vedic technique developed in India, TM was brought to the West in the late 1950s by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It involves sitting comfortably with eyes closed for 20 minutes twice a day while thinking a mantra. It does not require adherence to any religious belief system or ritual practices. Yet to date there are over 340 peer-reviewed papers describing the beneficial effects of TM on the mind and body.
The David Lynch Foundation recently hosted an event to help raise funds to teach TM to our wounded warriors returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan. We heard from veterans of three wars: Jerry Yellin, a fighter pilot in World War II who flew 19 missions over Japan; Dan Burks, who served in Vietnam; and David George, a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Despite differences in age and wartime experiences, these men had two things in common: All suffered terribly from PTSD, and all experienced tremendous relief from TM. Life became once again peaceful and even joyful for them.
What was clear from these men's stories was how great a toll their symptoms took on their families, as well as on themselves. In a poignant video, Mr. George's mother described the transformation of her son from a courteous young man into a hard-drinking, depressed and deeply disturbed veteran, who she feared would take his own life or someone else's.
All that changed when Mr. George began to meditate on a regular basis. According to Ms. George, TM saved her son's life.
In a study of Vietnam vets conducted by James S. Brooks and Thomas Scarano and published in the Journal of Counseling and Development in November 1985, TM outperformed the conventional psychotherapy of the day. More recently, a pilot study of five Iraq and Afghanistan veterans published in the June 2011 issue of Military Medicine showed a 50% reduction in PTSD symptoms after just eight weeks of practicing TM.
There is a scientific basis for the observed benefits of TM for combat-related PTSD. In several studies, TM has been shown to buffer fight-or-flight responses, which are thought to be overactive in people with PTSD, as evidenced by their hypervigilance, anxiety and exaggerated startle responses.
In addition, TM has been found to reduce blood pressure and decrease the risk of heart attacks and strokes—other conditions in which an overactive fight-or-flight response may play a role. In a similar manner, TM may modulate nervous system responses, thereby allowing affected veterans to relax and leave behind the traumas of war.
Regardless of how TM helps, the mounting evidence leads to one conclusion: If a simple, low-cost technique like TM can substantially alleviate the suffering of even some of the thousands of veterans afflicted with PTSD, how can we afford not to give it a try?
Mr. Lynch is a filmmaker and the founder of the David Lynch Foundation. Dr. Rosenthal is a clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical School and the author of "Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation" (Tarcher-Penguin, 2011).

WSJ: LETTERS: VA Meditating on Good Therapies, July 22, 2011
In "A Transcendental Cure for Post-Traumatic Stress" (op-ed, July 13) David Lynch and Norman E. Rosenthal pose a challenge for the federal agency entrusted with caring for our nation's 23 million veterans: "If a simple, low-cost technique like TM can substantially alleviate the suffering of even some of the thousands of veterans afflicted with PTSD, how can we afford not to give it a try?" In fact, Transcendental Meditation has received substantial attention at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and the National Institutes of Health. Indeed, meditation and other forms of complementary and alternative medicine are already used at VA to help veterans suffering from PTSD. We have embarked on a series of clinical investigations to evaluate all forms of meditation, TM among them, in order to determine whether this promising technique can produce results consistently for our patients, and which kind of meditation, from among several practiced widely today, would be most helpful to them. VA is beginning demonstration projects across the country in different care settings. We are looking for a simple, natural, culturally neutral and repeatable technique that can augment existing PTSD treatments. These studies require us to be open to new techniques for prevention and treatment, as well as structured in our approach to determining their value and efficacy. The studies already conducted, and those currently underway, are listed at http://tinyurl.com/3gx74o3.
The promising personal experiences mentioned in the article and the dedicated efforts of our VA, DoD and NIH team offer us all hope for finding more effective treatments for PTSD. We can't afford not to.

Slezské Rudoltice (1921–1954 Městys Rudoltice; deutsch Roßwald, auch Markt Roßwald) ist eine Gemeinde im Okres Bruntál in Tschechien. Sie liegt neun Kilometer südwestlich Osoblaha an der Grenze zu Polen.

Geographie
Slezské Rudoltice liegt in den Ostsudeten in der Zlatohorská vrchovina (Zuckmanteler Bergland / Oppagebirge). Nachbarorte sind Dolní Povelice (Nieder Paulowitz) und Koberno (Kawarn) im Norden, Bohušov (Füllstein) und Hrozová (Grosse) im Nordosten, Pelhřimovy (Mährisch Pilgersdorf) im Süden, Bučavka (Butschafka) und Třemešná (Röwersdorf) im Südwesten, Liptaň (Liebenthal) im Westen sowie Dívčí Hrad (Maidelberg) und Sádek (Zottig) im Nordwesten. Jenseits der Grenze zu Polen liegt im Nordosten Głubczyce (Leobschütz), Równe (Roben) im Osten und Dobieszów (Dobersdorf) im Südosten.

Geschichte
Roßwald wurde Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts im Zuge der durch den Olmützer Bischof Bruno von Schauenburg planmäßig durchgeführten Besiedlung Nordmährens gegründet und mit Deutschen besiedelt. Es gehörte zu den bischöflichen Besitzungen und wurde erstmals am 6. November 1255 in einer Urkunde erwähnt, mit der Bischof Bruno "Rodolueswalt" seinem Truchsess Herbort von Fülme als ein Lehen übertrug. Dessen Nachkommen errichteten um 1500 eine Feste, die sie 1548–1565 zu einem Renaissance-Schloss umbauten. 1570 gelangte Roßwald an die Sedlnitzky von Choltitz. Wegen ihrer Beteiligung am Ständeaufstand 1618 verloren sie ihren Besitz nach der Schlacht am Weißen Berg. Nachfolgender Besitzer wurde der Landeshauptmann von Mähren, Graf Maximilian von Dietrichstein. Er verkauft Roßwald jedoch schon 1630 dem Freiherrn Georg Maximilian von Hoditz, der 1641 in den Reichsgrafenstand erhoben wurde. 1676 erhielt Roßwald den Status eines Marktstädtchens. Unter Albert Joseph von Hoditz, der die Gutsherrschaft 1741 antrat, wurde das Renaissance-Schloss zu einer luxuriösen Barockresidenz umgebaut und mit Kunstobjekten ausgestattet. Wegen seiner weitläufigen Gartenanlagen und der kostbaren Ausstattung wurde das Schloss als "Schlesisches Versailles" bezeichnet. Im Schloss befand sich ein Theater- und Konzertsaal, in dem u. a. Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf musizierte. Unter den zahlreichen Besuchern befanden sich Kaiser Joseph II., der preußische König Friedrich II. und Voltaire.

Nach dem Ersten Schlesischen Krieg 1742 verblieb Roßwald bei Böhmen, lag jedoch nunmehr an der Grenze zum preußischen Schlesien. Durch den mit dem Umbau und dem Betrieb des Schlosses verbundenen Kostenaufwand brach nach 1770 die Gutswirtschaft zusammen. Albert Joseph von Hoditz siedelte nach Potsdam über. Sein hoch verschuldeter Besitz gelangte an die Familie von Badenfeld.

Nach der Aufhebung der Patrimonialherrschaften gehörte die Gemeinde Roßwald zur Bezirkshauptmannschaft Jägerndorf. 1898 erhielt sie Anschluss an die Schmalspurbahn Röwersdorf–Hotzenplotz. Nach dem Übergang an die 1918 gegründete Tschechoslowakei erhielt Roßwald 1921 die amtliche Ortsbezeichnung Městys Rudoltice. 1930 lebten 788 Einwohner in Roßwald, davon waren 774 Deutsche.

Nach dem Münchner Abkommen wurde Roßwald/Městys Rudoltice 1938 dem Deutschen Reich zugeschlagen und gehörte bis 1945 zum Landkreis Jägerndorf. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erhielt Roßwald die amtliche Ortsbezeichnung Slezské Rudoltice. Die deutschen Bewohner wurden vertrieben. Dadurch ging die Einwohnerzahl deutlich zurück und betrug 1950 nur noch 363. Die neuen Siedler waren teilweise Repatrianten aus Wolhynien.

1954 verlor Slezské Rudoltice seinen Status als Městys. Ende 1960 erfolgte die Auflösung des Okres Krnov und Slezské Rudoltice wurde dem Okres Bruntál zugeordnet.

Nashville, Tenn. - Griffin Technology has opened five "micro stores" in the U.S. since November, after testing the concept in London during the Summer Olympics.
Griffin said the stores, located in malls in San Jose, Calif, Seattle, San Francisco, Nashville and Annapolis, Md., are "an effort to give consumers a unique opportunity to interact with and experience Griffin products in a way they are unable to anywhere else."
"Griffin has been leading the way in developing innovative and ground-breaking accessories for the past 20 years," said Mark Rowan, Griffin's president. "Opening these micro stores is the next step for us in sharing our vision and products with consumers at first hand."
Each store displays the extent of Griffin's key products in interactive, hands-on displays, including the company's extensive collection of iOS cases, in-car accessories, and remote-controlled helicopters and vehicles.
A child-height demo station promotes Griffin's popular Crayola-branded products and a Charge Bar is open in each store for customers to charge mobile devices and for surf the Internet.
The Griffin micro stores are located at the Westfield Annapolis, the Westfield San Francisco Centre, the Westfield Southcenter in Seattle; the Westfield Valley Fair in San Jose,; and CBL Properties Cool Springs Galleria in Franklin, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville, where Griffin is headquartered.
The Cool Springs location features a 32-foot-tall Griffin-branded tower visible from both the first and second floors.

Among the 12 Asian countries in Akamai's report on the 'State of the Internet', India is the only one that suffered a fall in Internet speed.
While most countries have been experiencing a rise in average Internet speed due to new technologies, India suffered a 9.1 percent decline in average Internet connection speed in 2010, bringing it down to 0.8mbps.
According to the report, the average Internet speed in the world was at 1.9mbps and India ranked at 143 in the list. It was revealed that over 35 percent of Internet connections in India had a speed of 256 kbps or less and only 0.4 percent were measured to have a speed in excess of 5 Mbps.
The fastest Internet connections in the world are ironically located in Asia as well. South Korea places first with an average connection speed of 13.7 Mbps and Hong Kong comes in second with 9.4 Mbps followed by Japan with 8.3 Mbps. These are called 'high broadband' as it crosses the 5 Mbps threshold.
India has the world's third largest Internet population with over 100 million users as of December 2010 despite having one of the world's lowest Internet penetration levels at 8.4%. Although Internet penetration is starting to increase in India, the quality of the connections remains to be poor, which could be a potential setback for businesses that depend on high speed Internet.

As a percentage of GDP, the U.S. ranks eighth, behind countries like Japan, South Korea, and even Iceland. In one of the most important areas—energy—in 2010 the Department of Energy invested just $2.27 billion on applied R&D, or just slightly more than 1/100th of one percent of GDP. As a point of comparison, that's nearly $1 billion less than the amount ($3.1 billion) we'll spend in 2011 providing a tax benefit for employee parking.

India, Costa Rica sign two documents during Naidu's visit
March 9, 2019 by qayam
San Jose: India and Costa Rica signed two documents during Vice President Venkaiah Naidu's first visit to the Central American nation from March 7 to March 9, 2019.
"Witnessing the exchange of Memorandum of Understanding between #India and #CostaRica on waiving visa requirements for Diplomatic and Official passport holders and the signing of the Letter of Intent to collaborate in the field of #Biotechnology," Naidu's official Twitter account noted.
The documents were signed and exchanged following talks between Naidu and Costa Rican President Carlos Alvarado Quesada on Friday (local time).
Naidu stated that he held fruitful and cordial exchanges covering a range of area of mutual interest with the Costa Rican President.
"India is a peace loving country but has been a target of terrorism from across our border for the last few decades. We discussed in detail the menace of terrorism and the need to fight in one voice against individuals and terrorist groups engaged in terrorist activities," the Vice President's Twitter account quoted him as saying.
"Based on our fruitful exchanges, we are confident that our mutual efforts will open up new and innovative vistas for deepening ongoing engagement between both countries," he also said following the delegation level talks.
Naidu was earlier conferred with an honorary Doctorate degree at the University of Peace here.
He is scheduled to emplane for India on March 9, wrapping up the first high-level, five-day visit from India to Paraguay and Costa Rica.

Gut microbiota maintains body temperature in cold conditions: Study


Geneva : Antibiotic resistance, which can turn common ailments into killers, has reached dangerous levels globally, the World Health Organization warned today, saying widespread misunderstandings about the problem was fuelling the risk.
"The rise of antibiotic resistance is a global health crisis. More and more governments recognise (it is) one of the greatest threats to health today," WHO chief Margaret Chan told reporters, stressing that worldwide, resistance was "reaching dangerously high levels."
WHO's 12-country survey published today found that nearly two thirds of all those questioned (64 per cent) believe wrongly that antibiotics can be used to treat colds and flu, despite the fact that the drugs have no impact on viruses.
The survey, conducted in Barbados, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia, Serbia, South Africa, Sudan and Vietnam, also showed that 66 per cent believe there is no risk of antibiotic resistance for people who take their antibiotics as prescribed.
And nearly half thought antibiotic resistance was only a problem for people who take the drugs regularly, when in fact, anyone, of any age and anywhere, can get an antibiotic-resistant infection.
Around a third meanwhile believed it was best to stop an antibiotic treatment as soon as they felt better, rather than completing the prescribed course of treatment, the survey showed.

Our Europe Start-up 100 for 2019 includes entrepreneurs in e-commerce, fintech, life sciences, medtech, deep tech, IoT and more.
It is clear that the European tech ecosystem is on a roll despite the prevailing economic headwinds and uncertainty over Brexit, and the sector represents a clear path forward.
"Europe is now reaping the early rewards from the transformation of its tech ecosystem," said Tom Wehmeier, author of the State of European Tech report, published last month at Slush in Helsinki.
The report found that a total of $23bn has been invested in the tech industry in Europe last year, up from just $5bn in 2013. It also found that 69 tech firms went public in Europe in 2018, compared to just 28 tech companies in the US. European tech companies that went public last year also saw their share prices increase by an average of 222pc, while US tech IPOs reported an average gain of just 42pc. The research said that European exchanges are more supportive of smaller companies that want to go public.
So, it is truly a time for start-ups to emerge, shine and do what they intend to do, and in the process provide a pipeline for jobs and wealth creation across Europe.
Every day this week, we focused on separate lists of 25 start-ups to watch in Europe in e-commerce and fintech, deep tech, hardware and IoT, and medtech and life sciences, culminating in the 100 you will find below.
These lists are not absolute because they are only a dip in the ocean of European innovation. They are not a ranking as such, but they are devised to give you a flavour of the kind of activity that is happening.
And so, here is the Europe Start-up 100 listing of the ones to watch in 2019.

With Pain on the Wane, a Life Regained
By Heather Buschman, PhD | March 01, 2017
Steven Larrabee was plastering stucco 28 feet above the ground when the scaffolding he was standing on collapsed. Considering that a friend standing below said he looked like Superman when he hit the dirt, Larrabee initially felt fortunate that he had only dislocated his hand. But it still turned out to be a life-changing experience.
"That happened in November 1997," Larrabee said. "And it marked the end of my old life and the beginning of my new life."
That's because the injury led to decades of chronic nerve pain that often left his hand useless. Over the years, Larrabee has tried everything to alleviate the pain, including nerve blocks and opioid pain killers, such as oxycodone and morphine. But the only thing that has truly made a difference, and helped him get his life back, is an implanted device called a spinal cord stimulator.
"Picture a small battery pack with two spaghetti-like wires attached," said Mark Wallace, MD, chair of the Division of Pain Medicine at UC San Diego Health. "We insert those spaghetti wires up the spine in a way that's a lot like an epidural given during childbirth. Then we create a pocket, usually in the upper buttocks, to hold the battery pack."
Spinal cord stimulators are a type of neuromodulation — in other words, they work by preventing pain signals from reaching the brain. But they aren't meant for just any kind of chronic pain, and not typically for typical musculoskeletal low back pain, despite the fact that that's where the device is implanted. These stimulators work best for people with pain after nervous system injury, like Larrabee.
"I always ask people if their pain goes away when they lie in bed," Wallace said. "If the answer is yes, then these devices are not going to help them."
According to Wallace, spinal cord stimulators can be highly effective for the right kind of patients, and help people get off opioids.
"These are the patients that we follow up monthly for a few months after the procedure to place the device, then never see again," Wallace said. "And that's a good thing."
Larrabee had his first spinal cord stimulator implanted in 2002. Since then, he's gone through several of them for various reasons, each requiring a new surgical procedure. However, this is unusual — most patients can keep the same device for life. Larrabee's most recent device replacement was partly because he needed to turn the frequency up as high as it would go to get relief, and it burned out the battery.
Fortunately, spinal cord stimulator technology has greatly improved over the years. Larrabee's latest stimulator, placed in December 2016, operates on a new and improved technology resulting in better pain control and longer battery life. He's much happier with the pain relief it provides, and it probably won't need to be replaced for about 10 years. In the meantime, Larrabee is able to do things he couldn't do before his latest stimulator, like drive, hike and work with at-risk youth.
Of course, spinal cord stimulators aren't right for everyone.
"We only implant spinal cord stimulators after a patient has tried more conservative therapies," Wallace said. "It does require surgery, and that comes with risks just like any surgery would, although it is minimally invasive and risks are low."
Larrabee doesn't sugar-coat it when he talks to other patients considering a spinal cord stimulator.
"It's a serious surgery, and you have to be awake to tell them where you feel the stimulation," he said. "Plus, the leads can move around a little. In my case, I feel them in my neck and they can feel extremely cold in winter, even in San Diego."
Nevertheless, Larrabee said he would do it again every year if he had to — life with the spinal cord stimulator is just that much better.
"I used to just hope to live to 65," said Larrabee, who's in his early 50s. "But now I'm planning to live to be 100!"

In our last episode, we talked about the pros and cons of opioids for pain management. Here we talk to Mark Wallace, MD, about an alternative method for managing chronic pain — a type of neuromodulation called spinal cord stimulation. We also hear from a patient who has a spinal cord stimulator implanted in his back to help him manage chronic hand pain.

Indian nationality law
Laws governing citizenship of IndiaTemplate:SHORTDESC:Laws governing citizenship of India
"Indian citizenship" redirects here. For the United States law, see Indian Citizenship Act.
The Citizenship Act, 1955
Long title
An Act to provide for acquisition and determination of Indian citizenship.
Act No 57 of 1955
Enacted by
Assented to
Amended by
The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 1986,
The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2005, and
The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019
Along with the Constitution of India, the Citizenship Act, 1955, is the exhaustive law relating to citizenship in India.
The conferment of a person as a citizen of India is governed by the Part II of the Constitution of India (Articles 5 to 11). According to Article 5, all the people that were resident in India at the commencement of the Constitution were citizens of India as well as people born in India. The President of India is termed the First Citizen of India.
The Indian legislation related to this matter is The Citizenship Act, 1955, which has been amended by the Citizenship (Amendment) Acts of 1986, 1992, 2003, 2005, 2015 and 2019. The 1986 amendment restricted citizenship by birth to require that at least one parent had to be an Indian citizen. The 2003 amendment further restricted that aspect by requiring that a parent could not be an illegal immigrant. The 2003 amendment also mandated the Government of India to construct a National Register of Citizens. The 2019 amendment provided an easier path to citizenship for minorities persecuted on the basis of religion, i.e Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsi and Christians from the neighbouring Muslim-majority countries of Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan who entered India before December 2014. These two measures have given rise to large-scale protests in India in 2019.
Article 9 of Indian Constitution says that a person who voluntarily acquires citizenship of any other country is no longer an Indian citizen. Also, according to The Passports Act, a person has to surrender his/her Indian passport and voter card, and other Indian ID cards must not be used after another country's citizenship is obtained. It is a punishable offence if the person fails to surrender the passport.
The current Indian nationality law largely follows the jus sanguinis (citizenship by descent) as opposed to the jus soli (citizenship by right of birth within the territory).[1]

History[edit | edit source]
See also: History of British nationality law § Early English and British nationality law, History of citizenship § Great Britain, and Princely state
British Raj[edit | edit source]
The Government of India Act 1858 established the British Raj and formally brought the majority of Indians under British imperial rule. Indians under the British Raj generally fell into two categories:
Indians resident and born in British India came under the direct dominion of and bore allegiance to the British Crown, and held the status of British subject. From 1 January 1915, the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act 1914 defined British subjects as those born or naturalised in the British Sovereign's dominions (including British India) along with their spouses and children.[2]
Indians resident and born in a princely state under the British Raj, or in any other protectorate under the British government, held the status of British protected person.[note 1] British protected persons were considered de jure foreigners, but could travel on British-issued passports.
Effective from 15 August 1947, India was established as the independent Dominion of India. All Indians resident, born in or naturalised in the Indian provinces legally remained British subjects by virtue of Section 18(3) of the Indian Independence Act 1947. Indians residents in the princely states that acceded to India were also regarded as British subjects, while those resident in British protectorates retained the status of British protected persons.[3][note 2]
Territorial acquisitions[edit | edit source]
On 20 December 1961, after military action, India acquired the territories of Goa, Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli which were under the territories of Portugal. The French territories of Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahé, and Yanam, were acquired under treaty of cession with France in 1954 (ratified by the French National Assembly in 1962). Previously, the French territory of Chandernagore had voted in a referendum to join the Indian Union in 1949.[4] Sikkim was also merged with India and became a constituent state with effect from 16 May 1975. Some of the enclaves in the eastern part of India were also acquired under border agreements with Pakistan and Bangladesh.[5]
In order to expressly provide the citizenship for people in territories as mentioned above, the central government issued the Goa, Daman and Diu (Citizenship) Order, 1962, Dadra and Nagar Haveli (Citizenship) Order, 1962 and Citizenship (Pondicherry) Order 1962, in exercise of its powers under section 7 of the Citizenship act and for Sikkim, the President extended the Citizenship act, and the relevant rules under Article 371-F(n) of Indian Constitution. In case of acquired enclaves, that did not necessitate legislative action, as that was only a border demarcation agreement.[5]
Granting of citizenship[edit | edit source]
Cover of an Indian passport
Citizenship at the commencement of the Constitution of India[edit | edit source]
People living in the territory of India as on 26 November 1949 automatically became Indian citizens through operation of the relevant provisions of the Indian Constitution coming into force, and most of these constitutional provisions came into force on 26 January 1950. The Constitution of India also made provision regarding citizenship for migrants from the territories of Pakistan which had been part of India before partition.
Citizenship by birth[edit | edit source]
Any person born in India on or after 26 January 1950, but prior to the commencement of the 1986 Act on 1 July 1987, is a citizen of India by birth. A person born in India on or after 1 July 1987 but before 3 December 2004 is a citizen of India if one of the parents was a citizen of India at the time of the birth.[6] Those born in India on or after 3 December 2004 are considered citizens of India only if both of their parents are citizens of India or if one parent is a citizen of India and the other is not an illegal migrant at the time of their birth. In September 2013, the Bombay High Court gave a judgement that a birth certificate, passport or even an Aadhaar card alone may not be enough to prove Indian citizenship, unless the parents are Indian citizens.[7]
In a 2012 case, the Bombay High Court ruled that a man who was born in Pakistani-administered Kashmir and entered into India was an Indian citizen and should be granted an Indian passport, since India considers all of the Kashmir region to fall within its borders.[8]
Citizenship by Descent[edit | edit source]
Persons born outside India on or after 26 January 1950 but before 10 December 1992 are citizens of India by descent if their father was a citizen of India at the time of their birth.
Persons born outside India on or after 10 December 1992 are considered citizens of India if either of their parents is a citizen of India at the time of their birth.
From 3 December 2004 onwards, persons born outside of India shall not be considered citizens of India unless their birth is registered at an Indian diplomatic mission within one year of the date of birth. In certain circumstances it is possible to register after one year with the permission of the Central Government. The application for registration of the birth of a child must be made to an Indian diplomatic mission and must be accompanied by an undertaking in writing from the parents of the child that he or she does not hold the passport of another country.[9]
Citizenship by registration[edit | edit source]
The Central Government may, on an application, register as a citizen of India under section 5 of the Citizenship Act 1955 any person (not being an illegal migrant) if s/he belongs to any of the following categories:
a person of Indian origin who is ordinarily resident in India for seven years before making application under Section 5(1)(a) (throughout the period of twelve months immediately before making application and for six years in the aggregate in the eight years preceding the 12 months).
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.
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.
Citizenship by naturalisation[edit | edit source]
Citizenship of India by naturalisation can be acquired by a foreigner who is ordinarily resident in India for 12 years (throughout the period of 12 months immediately preceding the date of application and for 11 years in the aggregate of 14 years preceding the 12 months) and other qualifications as specified in Section 6(1) of the Citizenship Act, 1955.
List of Amendments[edit | edit source]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (December 2019)
Further information: Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2003 and Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019
Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 1957
Repealing and Amending Act, 1960
The 1986 amendment, legislated after the Assam agitation and Assam Accord, restricted citizenship by birth to children born of Indian citizens. At least one parent had to be an Indian citizen for the child to qualify for citizenship. This was a serious restriction of the jus soli principle adopted in the Constitution and the original Citizenship Act.
The 2003 amendment further restricted the jus soli principle by requiring that no parent of the child can be an illegal immigrant for the child to qualify for citizenship. It also ruled that illegal immigrants are not eligible for acquiring citizenship by registration or naturalisation.
The 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act provides for a path to citizenship for religiously persecuted minorities, namely Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians, from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, who faced "persecution or fear of persecution" in their countries and entered India on or before 31 December 2014.[10] The Act was passed by both the houses of Parliament by 11 December 2019.[11] It faced widespread criticism and protests on the grounds that it is discriminatory by omitting Muslims, and for violating the Assam Accord which promised 1971 as the cut-off date for the illegal migrants from Bangladesh.
Renunciation and termination of Indian citizenship[edit | edit source]
Renunciation is covered in Section 8 of the Citizenship Act 1955. If an adult makes a declaration of renunciation of Indian citizenship, s/he loses Indian citizenship. In addition, any minor child of that person also loses Indian citizenship from the date of renunciation. When the child reaches the age of 18, he or she has the right to have his or her Indian citizenship restored. The provisions for making a declaration of renunciation under Indian citizenship law require that the person making the declaration be "of full age and capacity".
Termination is covered in Section 9 of the Citizenship Act, 1955. The provisions for termination are separate and distinct from the provisions for making a declaration of renunciation.

It's bananas to say, but the holidays are upon us! Pick-up a copy of Vintage Holiday to read my most recent published work..... I focus in on the "Old World Romantic" style of designer Jennifer Hayslip, her home is featured on the magazine's cover. I take a closer look at the softer color palette that Belgium based lifestyle blogger Yvonne Eijkenduijn selects for her "Vintage Chic" holiday style. And be inspired by the "Mid Century Kitsch" look of designer Valerie Lloyd.

Q: Adding floating point to the integer i need help with my homework, i need to make a c program that gets a double
and prints the number without the floating point for example
gets 157.89943912 and prints 15789943912
so i made this
    void main()
    {
        double x = 157.89943912;
        while (x - (int)x > 0.0000001)
        {
            x *= 10;
        }
        printf("%lf", x);

        scanf_s("%d");

    }

now because of double zero inaccuracy the loop runs forever
but if i put 157.8994391 (one less floating point decimal)
it works..
thanks in advance!.

Corn farmers looking ahead with 'nervous anticipation'
Kai Ryssdal and Robert Garrova Jan 23, 2017

The president and his spokesman today talked about making changes to U.S. trade policy. Those changes will impact slices of the economy that you might not expect. Keith Alverson is a sixth generation corn farmer in Chester, South Dakota. He says that while he and other corn farmers are optimistic about the future, they have concerns over potential policy changes. He spoke with Marketplace Host Kai Ryssdal about how he views the new administration. Below are a few excerpts from the conversation.
On the corn business in South Dakota this year:
We had a bin-buster crop. We busted the grain bins and so it was a record crop for us — at least on our farm and a lot of farmers in the area. We had some hiccups in some parts of South Dakota where the weather didn't cooperate quite so well but things are looking up. Everybody is feeling pretty good about the crop production end of things. Of course, the prices are down just because we've got such a big supply. So that puts a damper on things but everybody feels good about growing a big crop.
On how the corn industry feels about the recent political discussion in America:
I think we're optimistic about the future. Most farmers you'll find are optimists. We talk pessimistically now and again but we're kinda going into this with nervous anticipation. Trade and global issues are a huge deal to us just because about 15 to 20 percent of our corn crop gets exported so it's a big deal when we start talking about trade issues.
On agriculture secretary nominee Sonny Perdue:
We've heard good things. He's been involved in the grain business throughout most of his life and has been successful at that, and so he knows the value of trade and marketing and things along that line, and so we are optimistic and looking forward to working with him.
On what concerns he and other farmers have been discussing lately:
One of the things that we have heard throughout the election process is concern over potential regulations within farming and industry. So those things are always a concern. We talk a lot about — in my area especially — ethanol and how it's going forward. The renewable fuel standard is one of our very top priorities within the whole corn world. And so how this plays out and support for that has really been important to us, and to have that be a successful and vibrant industry.
