Harassment – Others

Nitasha Kaul, a UK-based Indian-origin professor, lost her Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status over anti-India activities. The Kashmiri Pandit academician testified before a US Congressional Committee after the revocation of Article 370, criticising human rights violations in Kashmir.

A Britain-based academic and professor, Nitasha Kaul, shared that the Government of India cancelled her Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) status. The notice from the Government of India cited her “anti-India activities” as the reason for revoking her OCI status, accusing her of being motivated by malice and repeatedly attacking India’s sovereignty in international forums and on social media. The Kashmiri Pandit academician had, in fact, testified against the Indian government at the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2019 over “human rights violations” in Kashmir.
