The Indian Constitution provides ____________.
Single citizenship
Citizenship is dealt with in Part II (Articles 5 to 11) of the Indian Constitution.
Although India has a federal structure, the Constitution provides only one citizenship, that of India, and there is no separate state citizenship.
This feature was borrowed from the British Constitution, unlike the USA, where citizens hold both federal and state citizenship.
It promotes national unity, as every citizen enjoys the same political and civil rights throughout the country.
Hence, Single citizenship.
