Can you get an Indian passport if you were born in India but also want to keep your British Passport?
No you cannot get an Indian Passport, The Indian Government does not allow holding two passports... But, you can get OCI( Overseas Citizenship of India ) : if your parents / grandparents held Indian passport at anytime in their life they you should be able to get OCI. OCI is a life long Indian Visa Endorsed in your Passport and you also get a booklet which looks similar to Indian passport but it is technically not a passport. You will all the rights as any ordinary Indian citizen. Cheers! Sukhdeep.. Thanks - I was born in India so would my birth certificate qualify me (plus my wife and UK born child) for OCI?
