There are rules of immigration in every country; although most Indians think those rules only apply when they want to settle in other affluent countries. There is legal immigration and then there is just crossing the borders because they ae porous. In Mr. Subba's case, it appears he just entered the country and never seem to have filed proper papers. For example there are several Indians that have taken up citizenship in other countries; unfortunately they are not eligible to contest these elections eventhough they were born and brought up in India.
These are rules; must be followed properly, though they sound assenile at times. Mr. Subba must also follow them. Although, he can always buy a birth certificate for a small price to declare his citizenship status. This shows the level corruption all around!

Interesting isn't it ? We celebrate when people of Indian origin stand for elections in other countries and dig into their past and find out what food they like and what clothes they wear to reflect their Indianness. We bypass and bend every rule when it comes to immigration in the US by digging out the short term loopholes in their system( take a look at the number of deportees every year and the number of fake marriages and you wont bother to argue) Even celebrate when PIO's with NO or remote connections with India do something and proudly call them our own and decorate their home towns and call their relatives on TV shows to talk about them. We dig out secrets from the cupboards of unknowns and make them celebrities in the media. However when it comes to electing our own reps - we don't even do a basic background check. C'mon now - how can a person from another country be elected THRICE. I understand you can hide it once and fool people once but thrice. Obviously there is more to it than what has been said officially.As for the enqiries that will happen now - we all know what the outcome will be.
