Art. 10 · Part 2
Right Not to be Deprived of Citizenship
नागरिकताबाट वञ्चित नगरिने
Original Text
No citizen of Nepal may be deprived of the right to obtain citizenship. There is provision of single federal citizenship with State identity.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
Nepal has ONE citizenship - federal. States give you a regional identity but there is no separate provincial citizenship. No citizen can be stripped of citizenship rights.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
एकल संघीय नागरिकता - कुनै नागरिकलाई नागरिकता पाउने हकबाट वञ्चित गर्न सकिँदैन।
✅ Strengths
Prevents statelessness. Single citizenship prevents fragmentation.
⚠️ Concerns
Non-resident Nepalis in South Asia still cannot get non-resident citizenship unlike those in non-SAARC countries.
