He was born to British parents in India before independence. This only conferred a lesser British nationality, and, when he got an Australian passport in the 1990s, he inadvertently voided his right to live in Britain.
Now, after his story was covered and provoked a public outcry, he has been granted British citizenship. 'It has been an absolute nightmare. I've been trying for so many years to get my British passport back', he said. He now hopes to get a British passport formally by Christmas.
