Professor Nitasha Kaul, a scholar who is located in London and is of Kashmiri Pandit descent, recently had her Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) status revoked by the government of India. The framework of India’s Citizenship Act, preventative powers, and the limits of academic freedom have all been the subject of discussion as a result of this case. The researcher Kaul, who is well-known for her work on politics, human rights, and the Kashmir conflict, has been outspoken against the alleged abuses committed by the state. Her vocal comments and testimony before foreign forums were cited as the reason for the cancelation by the government, which cited “anti-India activities” as the reason for termination. The legal basis for the revocation of OCI, the sequence of events that occurred in Kaul’s case, and the larger consequences of similar measures when taken against abroad professors are all topics that are discussed in this article.
