Your grandfather served as a French police during French regime in pondicherry Can you get French nationality?
The treaty giving back the French colony of Pondichéry, to India came into effect in Aug. 1962. Under the terms of the treaty, the people living there had a six-month period to express a choice between either the French or Indian nationality. The people who did not state their willingness to gain French citizenship were automatically given Indian citizenship at the end of the 6-month period.Acting and being paid as a French policeman did not entail that your grandfather was French at the time (most rank-and-file policemen in former French colonies were never given French citizenship). The son (or daughter) of your granfather can claim French citizenship ONLY IF your grandfather, specifically requested French citizenship at the time meaning that he was a French citizen. Once that child of your grandfather appraised as French, you could in turn ask to get French nationality.
