Nationality and Citizenship[edit]

In light of recent edits, I felt it necessary to discuss this topic. Wikipedia clearly states biography lead guidelines in MOS:Ethnicity, where it states: "The opening paragraph should usually provide context for the activities that made the person notable. In most modern-day cases, this will be the country, region, or territory, where the person is a citizen, national, or permanent resident; or, if the person is notable mainly for past events, where the person was a citizen, national, or permanent resident when the person became notable." India does not permit dual citizenship, and the subject has clearly stated that she has solely Australian citizenship as per the source: https://www.smh.com.au/national/australia-is-a-beacon-of-multiculturalism-how-did-it-lose-its-humanity-20210508-p57q2h.html. Hence, she is appropriately described as "Australian", not "Indian". If there are other sources stating otherwise with regards to her citizenship/nationality, I certainly would like them to be brought forth and a discussion can be had and the appropriate changes made, but until such a time, such edits would be inaccurate.
