You’re confusing ancestry with legal citizenship. Many Nepali Brahmin and Chhetri lineages have historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. The Bhatt surname is associated with Vedic rishi traditions, including Kashyapa, Bharadwaj and Vashishtha, whose origins are traditionally linked to ancient Bharat. These lineages existed long before modern Nepal and India.

Now let’s talk about the law. Under Section 3(1)(a) of India’s Citizenship Act, 1955, anyone born in India before July 1, 1987, generally acquired Indian citizenship by birth. Naresh Bhatt was reportedly born in New Delhi in February 1987. That means he generally qualified as an Indian citizen at birth. Ancestry is one discussion; citizenship law is another. Neither sarcasm nor personal opinion changes the law.

India had birthright citizenship until July 1, 1987, and Naresh Bhatt was born in New Delhi, India, in February 1987. Under Indian law at that time, he would have qualified for Indian citizenship by birth. If he later obtained Nepali citizenship, the legality of that citizenship needs to be investigated. If it was obtained through false information or fraudulent documents, that would constitute citizenship fraud.

That’s legally incorrect. Living outside India for 2–2.5 years—or even decades—doesn’t automatically cancel Indian citizenship. Read Sections 3 and 9 of India’s Citizenship Act, 1955. Someone born in New Delhi in February 1987 generally acquired Indian citizenship at birth. Nepal also doesn’t recognize ordinary dual citizenship. Under Section 10 of Nepal’s Citizenship Act, a person holding citizenship by birth in both countries must eventually choose one. So the real question is whether he lawfully acquired and retained Nepali citizenship. Where is the evidence that he renounced his Indian citizenship or otherwise complied with Nepal’s citizenship laws? Residence abroad alone proves nothing.

@rajulama12ar @grok @CNN @PaganMinNP There was also no evidence he was born in Nepal. He's a pathological liar
