message: Please don't keep reversing mention of Josh's years in India, with the refrain: "He did not have dual nationality."  No one is saying he did.  But he was a citizen of the Republic of India from 1947 to 1957, when he emigrated to Pakistan and became a naturalized Pakistani citizen.  A person's nationality at death is not his only nationality.  See the wikipedia page on Enrico Fermi, born in Italy in 1901,  who emigrated to the US in the late 1930s and became a naturalized US citizen in 1944 at the age of 43.  The lead on his page says: "Enrico Fermi (September 29, 1901 – November 28, 1954) was an Italian physicist most noted for his work on the development ..." and only much later does it say, "He became a naturalized citizen of the United States of America in 1944." 
Or, look at the Wikipedia page for the physicist E. P. Wigner, who was born in 1902 in Hungary and became a citizen of the US in in 1937 at the age of 34 and remained one until he died in 1995 at the age of 92.  His lead says: "Eugene Paul Wigner (E. P. Wigner among physicists, his peers) (Hungarian Wigner Pál Jenő) (November 17, 1902 – January 1, 1995) was a Hungarian physicist and mathematician who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963 ..."  Only much later Wigner#Middle_years do they mention: "On January 8, 1937, Wigner became a naturalized citizen of the United States."  This in spite of the fact that Wigner was a citizen of the US much longer than he was one of Hungary.  
In light of this, it is perfectly plausible to mention both India and Pakistan in Josh's lead.  Not only was Josh a citizen of independent India for ten years, but all the places he lived before that were in UP or Delhi, areas that are in current day India and not Pakistan.

replies: text: Dear Schaizder, You say in your edit summary, "did not spend enough time in India to be called indian."  Well, 60 years (from 1898 to 1958) in Agra, Hyderabad (South India) and Delhi, is not enough time?  Not one day of those 60 years was spent in Lahore, Karachi, or Rawalpindi, or any town that was to become a part of Pakistan.  BTW, Josh spent more time in independent India (a total of ten years) than Gandhi, who died on 30 January 1948, and lived a mere 6 months in independent India.  What does that make Gandhi according to your arithmetic?  South African or British?  Gandhi certainly spent more time in those countries than independent India.  And I am not even addressing Josh's misgivings about becoming Pakistani and the false promise that was given him about initially only spending four months a year in Pakistan, about getting a free plot in Karachi for his children, and about not needing to become a Pakistani citizen for all this ....
