Indian legislature

As you might know i am a lawyer and my job is to try to understand and interpret law. well i have failed to do the first in any case. and i can say confidently that all lawyers/advocates and brainy ppl who say that they have understood law ARE LIARS... no i am not kidding. I just came across an Indian legislature for overseas citizenship of India. For all those who want to know how to apply please stop reading this post here and proceed to the link "http://mha.nic.in/pdfs/OCIForm.pdf" . for every one else who wants to follow the Indian legislature joke please proceed. before moving ahead let me tell u that the aim of OCI is to let foreign national who have Indian lineage stay connected with India. ok now back to the legislature. It provides that any foreign national can apply and then follows the eligibilty. But in practicality a minor child (foreign national) of foreign national is eligible for an OCI but a minor child of an Indian citizen is NOT yes NOT eligible for OCI. so tats logic for u. please try and understand it. if u succeed u r LAWYER. don't believe me ok i will reproduce the content or else follow the ministry of home affairs link. oh yes before u go i experienced this tragedy and a piece of advise APPLY FOR PIO i.e person of indian origin if u dont satisy for OCI u r entitled to it.
