Solution
The correct option is B 2 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect. If any territory becomes part of India, the Govt of India shall specify the persons of that territory who shall become the citizens of India.
Statement 2 is correct. Indian citizenship law follows the principle of ‘jus sanguinis' in granting citizenship.
‘Jus Soli’ and ‘Jus sanguinis’ are two well-known principles for the grant of citizenship: 'Jus soli' is a Latin term that means the law of the soil. Under this concept, the citizenship of a person is determined by the place where a person was born. Example: In the US citizenship is offered to those born on US soil. 'jus sanguinis’ gives recognition to blood ties. Under this system, a person acquires citizenship through their parents or ancestors. Example: Indian Citizenship.
