Adnan Sami citizenship controversy unwarranted!

The controversy over Pakistani artist Adnan Sami being granted Indian citizenship by the government of India is unwarranted. Several of my Indian friends work and stay in US and have been granted American citizenship over the years once they have fulfilled the rules and requirements of that nation. Every country has citizenship laws for nationals of other countries residing on their shores and if those are fulfilled by a non-Indian, I see no reason why there should be a controversy when thousands of Indians have got nationality of most countries around the globe.

Adnan Sami has been living with valid documents in India for several years now. The professional artist earns and pays taxes to our government apart from entertaining the masses not just in India but the global audience. His Indian citizenship is infact an insult to Pakistan that their talent find themselves more safe on our shores than in that terror breeding country. More people die of terrorist acts in Pakistan than in India where blasts are a daily phenomenon.

Sami is now an Indian and let’s be proud of this fact and respect his work.
