Should immigrants to India be allowed to hold dual citizenship status?
Multiple citizenship, also called dual citizenship is a person's citizenship status, in which a person is concurrently regarded as a citizen of more than one state under the laws of those states. There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizen status of a person, which is defined exclusively by national laws, which vary and can be inconsistent with each other. Some countries do not permit dual citizenship. Most countries that permit dual citizenship still may not recognize the other citizenship of its nationals within its own territory, for example, in relation to entry into the country, national service, duty to vote, etc.

No especially if the citizen follows an Abrahamic religion or is from a country that does so.Also check the track record of the person and the country as the citizen may be someone like a CIA actively working towards detriment of the country.Any attempt to hide such details should be met with 2 years of prison and life imprisonement(With possibility of parole)in case of insidious planning.Yes if these things check out.

Yes, for those who identify as culturally Bharatiya, pass a test against radicalization, and only former Indian passport holders for at least 5 years, and for valid reasons.
@9DMNMYQ1yr1Y
Yes unless they commit a crime/ show signs of treason and actively add value to the society

No. But OCI, NRI services should be made smoother and naturalization should be made easier.
