Does a British citizen have the right of abode in India?

I was wondering if the Commonwealth operates at all similarly to the EU, that is to say, as a British citizen, am I allowed to live in work in India (or perhaps, any other Commonwealth nation) with the same lack of restrictions as if I were going to Ireland or France?

Answer:
No as a British Citizen you do not have either right of Abode or to Work in India. You would need to get the appropriate visa to work and stay in India.

But if you are of Indian Origin (x citizen of india or by inheritance) Then its is easier to either get a 15 year person of Indian origin visa or OCI (Overseas Citizen of India ) visa (Life Long) , both will enable you to rights similar to ROA.

For more information you can visit the website of Indian high commission at www.hcilondon.org

Yes of course you are - you can aslo claim housing benefit, council tax benefit, unemployment benefit - heck they'll even give you a three bedroomed house for your trouble.

Get real
NO WAY... The Commonwealth is totally different from the EU. If it was the same, the currencies of all the Commonwealth nations would be the same.
No you have no automatic right to abode.
I do not understand this question. Why would a person wish to live in Indian country. It is very poor and have many problem not like Britain. You can make much money in India iof you have good connection with the government.
To travel in India- you must obtain VISA. Foreign person not allowed the owning of the land in India. Indian land only owned by Indian person, like in my nation, Indonesia.
Foreign person may rent land or purchase by proxy.
There are many tricking peoples who tell the lies to take the money for owning the land.
