Question

What was the difference between british subject and british citizen in india before 1947?

Answer 1

Explanation:

A British subject is a member of a class of British nationality largely granted under limited circumstances to people connected with Ireland or British India born before 1949. The term itself has historically had several different meanings, but is currently used to refer to a nationality class which was created to accommodate individuals who held a status previously called British subject without citizenship. Individuals with this nationality are British nationals and Commonwealth citizens, but not British citizens.

The status does not automatically grant the holder right of abode in the United Kingdom but most British subjects do have this entitlement. As of the end of 2018, about 34,500 British subjects hold active British passports with this status and enjoy consular protection when travelling abroad; fewer than 900 do not have right of abode in the UK.[1]

Nationals of this class without right of abode are subject to immigration controls when entering the UK. British subjects without right of abode in the UK who hold no other nationality are effectively stateless as they are not guaranteed the right to enter the country in which they are nationals.
