Coetzee (both Nobel laureates), Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood, Amitav Ghosh and Jonathan Franzen, have written to Modi to restore his OCI card. That’s what in fact the OCI card is all about. Taseer got his OCI card in 2016. The PIO application form is no longer available on the web, but the OCI form is, and there’s no reason to believe it’s different from what the PIO form was. The OCI form has a “father’s nationality" box that has to be filled up.
