What Is Citizenship?
NISHIKA PAWAR
Citizenship is the status of a person recognized under the custom or law of a sovereign state or local jurisdiction. In many sovereign states, citizenship is equal to nationality, which is in international law the membership to a sovereign state.
It also implies full and equal members of a political community.
Full membership
Full Membership of a political community means that he/she enjoys all civil as well as political rights under the protection of the state in return for his/her loyalty to the state This means that he/she agrees to abide by the rules and regulations of the society, not be a disturbance to the society and follow his/her duties completely along with rights .
A Collective political Identity: Nation-states provide a collective political identity to their members as well as certain rights. Therefore we think of ourselves as Indians, or Japanese, or Germans, depending on the state to which we belong.
Citizens expect certain rights from their state as well as help and protection wherever they may travel. Certain rights are required so that a person is able to live their lives with dignity and can progress and develop in the respective areas of interest. A citizen also requires protection towards his/her life or right to life, so that one may live freely.
A state is also required for protection towards threats and that can provide necessary conditions for minimum quality of life.
Refugees do not have full membership in their country and hence they do not enjoy any rights and live like strangers in another country. Such people are not guaranteed rights by any state and generally live in precarious conditions .
Equal Membership
The term "equal membership" refers to the fact that all citizens have the same rights. Nobody is treated unfairly because of their caste, religion, region, or gender. When we talk about citizenship, we're talking about rights and responsibilities, which we've won after many battles, such as the Indian freedom struggle. Black people in South Africa fought for equal rights.
Citizenship encompasses not only state-citizen relations but also citizens and their responsibilities to the state. It encompasses not only state-imposed legal obligations but also a moral obligation to participate in and contribute to the community's shared life.
Citizens are also regarded as the inheritors and trustees of the country's culture and natural resources.
Q5) Migration of people to different regions within the country is often resisted by the local inhabitants. What are some of the contributions that the migrants could make to the local economy?
Ans ) • Labour tends to migrate in search of jobs when opportunities are not available near their homes.
• Often, resistance builds up among the local people against so many jobs going to people from outside the area, sometimes at lower wages.
• There may sometimes be a difference between our response to poor migrants and to skilled migrants. We may not always be as welcoming to poor migrants who move into our areas as we may be to skilled and affluent workers.
• The booming building industry in town attracts workers from different parts of the country. So do infrastructure projects like road making which greatly require unskilled labour .
Q7 ) Q) In what ways a person can get or lose Indian citizenship ?
Ans) Our Indian Constitution provides certain provisions with regard to the acquisition of citizenship in India from Articles 5 to 11. There are certain ways like birth, registration, descent, naturalization, and incorporation of territory through which a person can acquire citizenship in India.
We can lose citizenship by :
The citizen has obtained citizenship by fraud.
The citizen has shown disloyalty to the Constitution of India.
The citizen has unlawfully traded or communicated with the enemy during a war
