Friday’s setting sun marked the beginning of a new dawn for centenarian Jamuna Mai, a Pak-Hindu, who became a citizen of India, after waiting for 12 years.
At 101 years, Jamuna Mai is the oldest person of either sex to have been accorded Indian nationality in the country, the district administration claimed.
A small hamlet, Sodha Ri Dhani in Jodhpur, housing six Hindu migrant families from Pakistan, celebrated the new identity of their eldest member like never before. Her application for citizenship under the Indian Citizenship Act 1955 was cleared on Friday, after a struggle of 12 years. Mai signed the final ‘exit document’, an undertaking of leaving Pakistan’s nationality, on Friday, with the hope that her family members too would be accepted by India soon.
