A 94-year-old woman from Andhra Pradesh has captured public attention after giving up her US citizenship and seeking to regain Indian citizenship, saying her final wish is to spend her remaining years in her homeland and "die as an Indian."
Kondragunta Mahalakshmamma, a native of Chinthagumpala village in Chinaganjam mandal of Bapatla district, recently approached district authorities with an emotional appeal to expedite her citizenship application. A video of her meeting officials has since gone viral on social media.
