Abstract

The way citizenship is developing in India is different from western democracies. From the late nineteenth century until the Act of 1935, many forms of representation emerged at various levels in the colonial regime, but the scope of citizenship remained extremely limited. In those days, the people were not seen as the source of sovereignty, as the institution of the state was in the grip of foreign rulers. The common people were just like subordinate subjects. Gradually they started getting civil rights.
