Oct 19, 2023 at 16:18 comment added user102008 @mlc: The Indian embassy and consulates in the US do have procedures for registering and getting an Indian passport for children born in the US (who obviously must have US citizenship at birth, if not born to a foreign diplomat).

Oct 19, 2023 at 7:58 comment added user102008 @mlc: Not true. According to section 4 of India's Citizenship Act, a child born outside India to at least one Indian citizen parent is an Indian citizen by descent, if registered at an Indian consulate within one year of birth, with a statement that the child does not possess a foreign passport. Whether the child has foreign citizenship or nationality is not relevant. If an Indian citizen by descent has dual citizenship, subsection (1A) provides that they will lose Indian citizenship if they do not renounce their other citizenships by 6 months after attaining full age.
