I am from a non law background and reading Indian Constitution. After reading Laxmikanth and PM Bakshi, what I could get is that both the Articles deals with law made by parliament related to Citizenship but I am unable to get the finer details of it.
What was the need to make 2 articles? If someone can explain with an example that would be most welcome.
Article 10 says that anybody meeting the definition of a citizen under Part 2 of the constitution will become or will continue to be a citizen unless Parliament makes a law that removes the person's citizenship.
Article 11 says that Parliament may make any laws regarding who is and is not a citizen, and why or how, without limitation by the Constitution.
The first is necessary because it ensured continuity from time prior to the constitution being adopted. The second is necessary because it ensures Parliament may continue to manage citizenships after that point (i.e. to do its job).
